A colleage of mine and I put together a contrib for the SME Server (when
using squidGuard) to rewrite google image searches to force the safe
search options.
See this article:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/article.php?story=20040826115541358
And this package:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/loveless/SMEServer/archives/squidGuardGoogle/
It's just a few changes to the squidguard.conf file. So, if you want to
use IPCop/squidGuard... you should be able to make the same changes there.
Hope that helps,
Abe
