1.) please read the board guidlines

2.) what is the actual problem? what do you mean by "keeping it family friendly"? do you want to have an explanation how a word filter works?

3.)

}  //where does this come from?


$q = $_GET[q];
$category_id = $_GET[category_id];
$stype = $_GET[stype];
$page = $_GET[page];

if (empty($q) and empty($category_id)) {
  echo "Enter at least 1 keyword, or pick a category.";
}
else {
  $q = @str_replace("_"," ",$q);  //how is stripping "_" going to make this family friendlier?
  if (empty($page)) {
    $page = "1";
    $offset = "0";
  }
//bracket missing

sure no problem i got this working
and i just replace the banned or filtered word in the banned word 1 spot
and the second one in the second spot etc....

$q = $GET[q];
$category_id = $GET[category_id];
$stype = $GET[stype];
$page = $GET[page];

if (empty($q) and empty($category_id)) {
echo "Enter at least 1 keyword, or pick a category.";
}
switch(strtolower($q)){
case "banned word 1": $banned="yes"; break;
case "banned word 2": $banned="yes"; break;

}
if ($banned) {
echo "Im sorry the search phrase you are looking for contains a banned word.";
}
else {
$q = @str_replace("_"," ",$q);
if (empty($page)) {
$page = "1";
$offset = "0";
}
