Could you please add an exception list function? I need to block my mother searching for "facebook login", to avoid malicious fake facebook findings. So everything is allowed to search for, except. Thanks!

I haven't really put this thru the test, but if I were doing more intensive searches for school or work, I'd enable this again.
