Refine Filtering PoliciesA keyword is a string of characters (like a word, phrase, or acronym) that might befound in a URL. Assign keywords to a category, and then enable keyword blocking ina category filter.Use the Policy Management > Filter Components > Edit Categories > AddKeywords page to associate keywords with categories. If you need to make changesto a keyword definition, use the Edit Keywords page.When you define keywords, be cautious to avoid unintended overblocking. Youmight, for example, intend to use the keyword “sex” to block access adult sites, butend up blocking search engine requests for words like sextuplets or City of Essex, andsites like msexchange.org (Information Technology), vegasexperience.com (Travel),and sci.esa.int/marsexpress (Educational Institutions).Enter one keyword per line.Do not include spaces in keywords. URL and CGI strings do not include spacesbetween words.Include a backslash (\) before special characters such as:. , # ? * +If you do not include the backslash, Websense software ignores the specialcharacter.Avoid associating keywords with any of the Extended Protection subcategories.Keyword blocking is not enforced for these categories.When you are finished adding or editing keywords, click OK to cache your changesand return to the Edit Categories page. Changes are not implemented until you clickSave and Deploy.In order for keyword blocking to be enforced, you must also:1. Enable keyword blocking via the Settings > Filtering page (see ConfiguringWebsense filtering settings, page 68).2. Enable keyword blocking in one or more active category filters (see Editing acategory filter, page 62).Redefining filtering for specific sitesTRITON - Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.7.xRelated topics: Exceptions to Filtering Policies, page 105 Creating a custom category, page 265 Filtering based on keyword, page 266268 Websense Web Security Solutions
