Block all search engines but allow Google & Bing

Hi, we have Safesearch been enabled on FortiGate. Google & Bing does the safesearch, but other search engines like duckduckgo, startpage, baidu, aol etc doesnt.

 

We would like to block all search engine, but only allow Google & Bing. How can I achieve this?

 

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hello,

 

You may consider to block "Search Engines and Portals" webfilter category and exempt Google and Bing under webfilter profile.

Hi, as my colleague said you may need to exempt google and bing and block search engine and portals.

You can acheive that by creating static URL filter under web filter profile, create new

*google*

*bing*

Pattern:wild card

action: exempt

enable

You can see the below screenshot for reference:
