Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and media for providing content upon request are provided. A search request for content is received from a user. A first filter is applied to the search request to modify the search request before a search algorithm searches for the content to return in response to the search request. Items of content are determined based on the search request to which the first filter is applied. A second filter is applied to the items of content to determine search results. The search results are provided to the user.

A method for providing content upon request, the method comprising:
- applying, by a processing system including a processor, a first filter to a search request submitted via a media content guide application, wherein the first filter is based on a configuration of the media content guide application, wherein application of the first filter returns selectable search results of the media content guide application including permissible summary descriptions of items of media content responsive to the search request, while preventing selectable search results of the media content guide application from including impermissible summary descriptions of the items of media content responsive to the search request;
- receiving, by the processing system and from equipment of a user, a selection of a selected media content item from among the selectable search results of the media content guide application;
- recognizing, by the processing system, an identity of the user to ensure a second filter is applied to the selected media content item based on the configuration of the media content guide application, wherein the recognizing is based on one or more of a voice recognition of the user as recognized by an automatic voice recognition system, a voice characterization of the user, search terms used by the user, content accessed by the user, or search activity of the user;

A system, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- applying a first filter to a search request submitted via a content guide application, wherein the first filter is based on a configuration of the content guide application, wherein application of the first filter returns selectable search results of the content guide application including permissible summary descriptions of items of media content responsive to the search request, while preventing selectable search results of the content guide application from including impermissible summary descriptions of the items of content responsive to the search request;
- receiving from equipment of a user a selection of a selected item of content from among the selectable search results of the content guide application;
- recognizing, from the search request, an identity of the user to ensure a second filter is applied to the selected item of content based on the configuration of the content guide application, wherein the recognizing is based on one or more of a voice recognition of the user as recognized by an automatic voice recognition system, a voice characterization of the user, terms used by the user, content accessed by the user, or search activity of the user;

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- applying a first filter to a search request submitted via a content guide application, wherein the first filter is based on a configuration of the content guide application, wherein application of the first filter returns selectable search results of the content guide application including permissible summary descriptions of items of media content responsive to the search request, while preventing selectable search results of the content guide application from including impermissible summary descriptions of the items of content responsive to the search request;
- identifying a selection by a user of a selected content item from among the selectable search results of the content guide application;
- recognizing, from the search request, the user to ensure a second filter is applied to the selected content item based on the configuration of the content guide application, wherein the recognizing is based on one or more of a voice recognition of the user as recognized by an automatic voice recognition system, a voice characterization of the user, terms used by the user, content accessed by the user, or search activity of the user;
- and
