I work at a school and noticed that anything searched with profanity is being allowed and not blocked. What is the best way to block profanity?

    You could use DLP (http://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/56/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-security-profiles/DLP/dlp_chapter.htm) but that might also end up blocking valid searches, as the letters for some profanity occur in more regular words.  The nice example being the word assume.  You'd also have to decide if you were blocking it just for searches, but allowing it in emails, wikipedia, etc.
