Hi All,

Quick question, do the FortiGuard web filter categories also contain blocked search terms? Or do we have to enter blocked search terms manually into web policies?

Hi,

 

By default,  The web filter categories will block based on the hostname name.

However, you can use the banned word feature to block the search terms.
