squidGuard has indeed safe search functionality by using a
regular expression substitution mechanism.
Unfortunately, the substitution has to be done for ALL Google domains.
sguidGuard also does not have safesearch examples for Yahoo, Ask.com
excite.com, MSN.com live.com etc.
With ufdbGuard an administrator only has to add 'safe-search on'
in the configuration file and SafeSearch is enabled for all Google domains
and all major search engines. The implementation does not use
regular expressions and is much faster.
