General Categories: Terms such as weather, news, and music.
Prurient Content: We ignore pornographic, four-letter words and otherwise lewd queries, including names of decidedly adult film stars -- unless such terms are driven by news events.
General Internet Utilities: Queries on popular Web tools are ignored, in order to prevent the medium itself from skewing the list. Examples: Windows, MP3. We also exclude computer-oriented terms such as .exe and zip.
Company Names: We exclude all company names. Our editors will make exceptions for company queries which are driven by the news.
Countries: We exclude country names except during news events such as war and national disasters.
