I run Cop+ for exactly the same reason, and haven't tweaked the search
engine settings at all. I have set the defaults on Google to Safe
Search, though. I tend to find that if an Image search finds a thumbnail
of something iffy, the URL is blocked by DG already. And on a main
search, words and phrases will be filtered if they appear on the search
page, and linked pages filtered if the content is dodgy.

Best of all, from my son's point of view, is that I'm happy for him to
use games sites like onemorelevel.com or Runescape as the ad block keeps
out the popups.

Cheers
