My squidGuard binary is patched to enable full regular expressions.
You can't do back-references (the \1) with the stock squidGuard.

The third "@" was stripped out somewhere along the way. Don't know if
it was me or someone else. Either way, he's my current configs:


	rewrite google {
	    s@(google.com/search.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.com/images.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.com/groups.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
		s@(google.com/news.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.../search.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.../images.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.../groups.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	    s@(google.../news.*q=.*)@\1\&safe=active at i
	}

My source package is at:

	ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/4.0.1/K12LTSP/SRPMS/squidGuard-1.2.0-7.k12ltsp.0.3.1.src.rpm

Feel free to swipe it & build a deb.
