It would be great if the search engines removed (de-index is the term) ProjectSEE, but I am not sure that that is realistic. Search engines usually de-index a site for using abusive or fraudulent search optimization techniques, malware distribution or phishing. ProjectSEE is different from that, so I don’t know if the search engines would actually de-index them, but one could try.

I think what was meant was to contact the various firms (including search engines) that operate web parental controls or rating services to make sure that ProjectSEE is listed as a hate site and unsuitable-for-children site.

For example, most antivirus software has an optional setting that blocks sites unsuitable for children, hate sites, hacking sites, etc. To give a specific case, the “Parental Controls” option for Trend Micro Internet Security software by default excludes “Crime,” “Violence/hate/racism” and “cult.” So, the point would be to make sure that ProjectSEE gets on those lists of hate, crime and cult sites.

Search engines also have a user preference that filters out pornography, for example Google SafeSearch. This is different from de-indexing. I think it was suggested to get ProjectSEE listed as a hate site or unsuitable for children site on those type of filters operated by the search engines themselves. I don’t know for sure if this would work for non-pornography sites.

Also Internet Explorer and possibly other browsers, has a parental control option that also blocks certain sites.

ProjectSEE is a recent site, so I think the point is to make sure it gets on those lists of hate sites and unsuitable for children sites, for example.

Another suggestion that has been made is to not link to ProjectSee, which would increase their rank in search engine results unless you use the “no follow” tag.
