Just wondering if anyone has considered this.  I regularly use Google, and find it to be the simplest and fastest search engine available.  I realized yesterday, however, that Google's "caching" feature could enable someone to access (in a limited fashion) content that is otherwise blocked with a content filter (we're using the Iprism).  By default, Google allows you to alternately access a cached copy of any web site in it's gigantic database.

The same would apply to other content caching services, such as Wayback Web, which is a great historical archive of the WWW since its inception.

I suppose the easiest solution is to limit users to "safe" search engines.  I wonder how other high schools are dealing with this ?
