I didn't even have to press return, the page filled and it was an entire page of results, every single one of which said, yes, Jews are evil. And at the bottom their suggested search terms. What do you want to search for next? And the first suggestion was, "Did the Holocaust happen?" So I clicked and every single one said, no, the Holocaust didn't happen.

After years of requests to do so, YouTube (owned by Google) announced last week that they will start removing videos promoting anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial.
