On the evening of September 28, 2014, Sina Weibo began restricting search results for "Hong Kong Police" (香港 警察). These screenshots were taken around 9:30 pm, and show that a user entering that search would only receive results in the categories "Media," "Websites," and "Famous People." Clicking on the link labeled "View all search results" leads the user to a page that says "Sorry, unable to find any search results related to "Hong Kong Police."
In contrast, this screenshot was taken several hours earlier, and shows that when a user did the same search and clicked on the link labeled "View all search results," they were shown results from non-verified accounts, and are told there are over 2 million search results.
