1. What problems does the article mention that children run into when they use search engines?

 

When considering children, search engines had long focused on filtering out explicit material from results. But now, because increasing numbers of children are using search as a starting point for homework, exploration or entertainment, more engineers are looking to children for guidance on how to improve their tools.

2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?

 

Search engines are typically developed to be easy for everyone to use. Google, for example, uses the Arial typeface because it considers it more legible than other typefaces. But advocates for children and researchers say that more can be done technologically to make it easier for young people to retrieve information. What is at stake, they say, are the means to succeed in a new digital age.

3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching?

 

yes, I search information using keywords and key sentences. it characterizes them by using different information types and genres.

 

4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching?

 

yes, this article makes them categorize as if they make you find information faster and easier.

5. What advice would you give to Internet search engine developers (like Google or Bing) for how they should improve their product? Do you think any of the improvements mentioned in the article are particularly promising? Why?

 

Future trends in search may also be helpful to children. The move toward voice-activated search like the Google voice search on iPhones and Android phones and audio and video search will prove beneficial to children with limited abilities, experts say.
