SafeSearch fails on mobile searches

I' ve just discovered that enforcing SafeSearch (available in the 4.1.x firmware) does not work for mobile searches. Below is an excerpt from a trouble ticket I just submitted. Anyone else confirm they have the same problem? Thanks. ======= Here are the steps to reproduce the problem using a desktop browser on a wired connection to the Fortigate. The problem will show up in IE 7.x, and Firefox 3.x, as well as other browsers. 0. Enable SafeSearch for Google in Protection Profile. 1. Surf to http://images.google.com/m 2. Click the " Settings" link. 3. Select " Off" for Safe Search. 4. Click " Save" 5. Search for anything. You will see that SafeSearch is off even when it is supposed to be enforced by the Fortigate. You will see the " SafeSearch is off" label at the bottom left of the screen. The same problem happens in images in http://m.yahoo.com and http://m.bing.com as well even when SafeSearch is enabled for those search engines in the Protection Profile.

I have confirmed the same issue on 4.1.2. The safe search option works great for computers but for mobile devices (blackberries only tested so far) it does not work.

Thanks for the feedback. I' ll post back when I hear from support. I am hoping they will acknowledge this as an official bug so it can fixed in a future firmware update.
