FYI - from a mom posting on Breastfeeding.com  - full discussion at
http://www.breastfeeding.com/ubb/Forum11/HTML/031248.html

"I have discovered that recently MSN has "updated" the search engine for
their GROUPS (communities with message boards that individuals can create).
It no longer lets you search on certain specific pornographic/vulgar/obscene
words--such as breast, breastfeeding, breast cancer....

there are 216 breast cancer support groups at msn.
there are 139 breastfeeding support groups at msn.
NONE of these will get new members.
No one in need of help will find these groups
unless MSN gets their head out of their butts!"

The MSN response:
"In order to provide an environment that is clean and safe for everyone to
enjoy, we have added a very thorough profanity filter which may have been
triggered by language you were using. We suggest you rephrase your search
question."

It appears that a letter-writing campaign may be needed to educate them.
