Let G(x) be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. It is conjectured that the set {n ∈ N : G(n) is prime} is infinite for most G(x). If Pr denotes the set of squarefree positive integers with at most r prime factors, we consider the set {n ∈ N : G(n) ∈ Pr} with the goal of showing that it is infinite for a suitable choice of r. Considerable work has been done on this problem, with the most notable results being due to Iwaniec, Buhštab, and Richert. Here we show that if deg(G(x)) = 2, then we may take r = 2.
