I want to record all the searches that employees do in search engines like Google or Yahoo, etc. In web filter I have the proxy option and in search engines I have Log all search keywords enabled but it doesn't work, do I have to enable or disable something else somewhere else or should that work? What should I check? Thank you

I finally found what's going on. In ssl I have an exception for Search engines and portals.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @van_sta,

Please note that the firewall policy also has to be proxy based and deep inspection needs to be enabled. Please refer to https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Logging-search-phrases-on-Fortigate/ta-p/228230
