...from its Instant and Autocomplete services.

Still bad but not quite so bad. Actually, I'm a little worried about filtering Instant since that's effectively filtering all of search for many people.

And why bother with filtering Megaupload? It is dead.

When something is "censored" from Instant, it just says "Press enter to search" rather than loading it automatically. Nobody who bothered to put "torrent" in the search box is going to be dissuaded by having to press one extra key to see the results.
Thank you for clarifying, I just assumed search results would be missing. Which now that I think about it doesn't make much sense.

The case has been argued in the lower courts, so it was probably included then as it was before the Megaupload takedown.
