Library Category Components > URL Keywords:

A library category uses URL keywords to block a user's access to Internet addresses containing keywords included in its list.

NOTE: If the feature for URL keyword filtering is not enabled in the filtering profile, URL keywords can be added in the URL Keywords window but URL keyword filtering will not be effective for the end user.

WARNING: Use extreme caution when setting up URL keywords for filtering. If a keyword contains the same consecutive characters as a keyword set up to be blocked, users will be denied access to URLs that are not even within blocked categories. For example, if all URL keywords containing “sex” are blocked, users will not be able to access a non-pornographic site such as “http://www.essex.com.”
