The Australian government is considering requiring that Internet service providers in that country install filters which would prevent citizens from accessing tens of thousands of sites that contain "objectionable" material.

Perhaps a 'filter' at the Search Engine Results Page or the Application Results page which is not what you are trying to download, merely a smorgasboard of advertisements which have been selected as being approximate to what you might be wanting,would not consitute a search at all.
As you would be aware the Supreme Court has made its position on the relationship (or lack of it) of advertising to the first amendment right.
If it were automated, did not seek etc private information, did not degrade technical performance and were done with the participation and agreement of the isps and their customers there could not possibly be any issue other than one manufactured with the great mental gymnastics required to maintain any ill founded bias
