6.3 Enforcing SafeSearch

WebMarshal allows you to enforce use of the “Strict Safe Search” function that some search engines provide. At this release, WebMarshal Safe Search supports Google, Yahoo!, and Bing safe search, as well as YouTube Safety Mode. This feature adds the “safe search” parameter to each request that a user makes to the supported search engines or sites.

Information 

Note: The search filtering provided when WebMarshal Safe Search is enabled depends entirely on the results returned by the specific search engine, and is not based on any further evaluation by WebMarshal. The search engines do not guarantee that they can filter out 100% of the offensive or adult material returned by a search. The content excluded from the search results through WebMarshal is in line with the search engine providers’ policy. See the search provider websites for more details.

 

To configure Safe Search, in the left pane of the WebMarshal Console expand Access Policy and select SafeSearch.

To enable or disable the feature, check or clear the box on the main Safe Search page.

You can choose to exclude one or more User Groups from this feature. To configure User Group exclusions, at the top right of the main Safe Search page click Settings. For more information, see Help.
