Block Google Image Searches Completely (but not the rest of Google)

It would be great to be able to completely block Google Image searches without blocking all of Google. Even with forced Safesearch the Google Image search results are so far beyond acceptable that it is still a bit of a nightmare scenario from a school perspective (compare such results to results from Bing in in the classroom, Bing is doing it right, Google is doing it wrong). There are workarounds but they require blocking specific sub-domains and aren't 100% effective. That would be a great feature for DNSFilter to offer.

In the time since this specific request was made, we implemented Google (principal among others) Safe Search toggles for policies. Explicitly specifying the images FQDN in the block list will allow all other DNS resolution on Google (in this case), but block that specific FQDN.

At the very least, it would be nice to have a button that enforces the best we can do on Google SafeSearch with a single click (i.e. instead of just enforcing Google SafeSearch, also block those sub-domains that provide all images past the initial page of results. Apparently it's impossible to block that first set of results, but at least you can block all images below it.)
