Are you sure you want to cache google search results?

Google search result URLs include a query string in the URL, and
return a cookie -- both of these will, in a default Squid, cause the
proxy to explicitly choose not to cache the data.

Additionally the google servers mark their pages as uncacheable,
returning a "Cache-Control: private" header.
