Q.  How can I allow my users to safely use the Google image search without having to block the entire search option?
A.  In SecureSchool make the following weighted words & phrases rules: Page Content Filtering > Add Rules > "Contains" > "Moderate SafeSearch is on" > Cumulative Weight = 200 Page Content Filtering > Add Rules > "Contains" > "SafeSearch is off" > Cumulative Weight = 200 In Google, the user will have to use strict filtering in order to use the Google Image Search: To Turn On Safe Search go to Preferences (link located to the right of the search field under Advanced Search) > Scroll down to SafeSearch Filtering and select "Use Strict Filtering" > Save Preferences

Q.  What happens if a user has multiple filter settings assigned to him/her?
A.  SecureSchool does not allow multiple filter settings for users. Multiple settings are confusing and redundant. If a custom setting is required, you can make a group for the person and assign settings to the group as desired.
