About

Words you must never search, also known as "Keywords you must never Google," is a list of search engine keywords that are directly associated with shock sites and other undesirable media.

Origin

The indexing of "words you must never search" (Japanese: 検索してはいけない言葉), or "keywords you must never Google" (Japanese: ググってはいけない言葉) on the Japanese web began as a compilation of individual threads discussing all sorts of NSFW content and shock sites on the anonymous text board community 2channel. While discussions of shock sites, gory media and computer viruses have occasionally taken place on 2channel's /news4vip/[1] board since late 2007, the first prototype list of "words you must never search" was started on 2channel's /occult/[2] (paranormal & spiritual phenomenon) board in January 2008 and continued to be updated until 2012.

Spread

These keywords compiled in /occult/ board threads had been increasing its online presence by affiliated blogs; blogs which summarize 2channel's threads to generate money via Amazon affiliate program or Google Adsense. Additionally, these keywords have been compiled in Naver matome pages[3] and videos on YouTube[4] and the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga[5] where several videos have been watched over a million times. There is also a wiki dedicated to compiling these keywords[6]. Several online encyclopedic articles have been created about these keywords.[7][8] Japanese internet users often share these blog posts and videos on social networking services, mainly Twitter, and are sometimes simply spread word-of-mouth.

In the Media

In the Japanese mass media, the "Words you must never search" fad is treated like an urban legend. It has sometimes been included in articles about scary rumors by gossip magazines. Several books and magazines dedicated to these keywords have been occasionally released since 2009 (shown below).
