The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Not really...the shortcut sites aren't proxing the requests or anything.
They simply redirect your browser to the original. Thus your browser is
still making a request to the original URL.
You your network blocks facebook.com, using a shortcut to it isn't going to
get around that.
The only reason to block the shortcut that I can see is that it's easier to
hide a nefarious URL, thus more users are app to click on them.
The Tiny URL preview feature helps with that...

opening them up would be tantamount to allowing access to the whole
