I thought it was maybe due to the suffix being problematic, but “torpedo” shows up without issue. Tried with safe search on/moderate and off.

      Maybe “sharPedo” (erroneously) triggers some CSAM rule for Bing? Shorthand for sharing pedophilia?

          That’s because they’re known words to exclude from the filter. Nobody’s flagged up sharpedo to their CSAM filter team yet.

            So interestingly, slight misspellings will show the pokemon with a “Showing results for Sharpedo”, but if you click on that link the results will disappear. I also can’t find any other blocked examples with different made up words.

            It’s weird, like it has been manually blocked

            Someone should send this post to some tech news/blog and have them look into it 😄

      Because Bing is owned by Microsoft.

      You are trying to make sense of a Microsoft product. Even they dont know how to make work so why are you trying to make sense of it not working?

        You’re not even exaggerating. I was trying to figure out how to let my son play Minecraft online. His account is a minor account, and I have it in my family unit with my Microsoft account. The help page in Minecraft says to enable online play in the online privacy and security settings for his account, and as far as I can tell, no such settings exist.
