It mentions that children often have trouble finding the correct things on search engines, specifically Google. They have trouble finding the correct key words to use for specific topics.
2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?
They are making the search of results more kid friendly. Instead of searching the specific word or sentence. The alternative would be to show any type of image or video in which they would just click on. Then that would lead them to what they want to search.

Most of the time I do search using keywords but other times I just type what I feel will specify the results. The article specifies these two types of searching by explaining the differences between them.

I have since I am better with learning visually than listening. The article characterizes it as an easier way of searching and more user friendly.
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?
They should try and leave out Wikipedia as much as they can because it is becoming one of their main sources. I think they might be slightly confusing at times even for younger users because maybe some of them would be better off with key words.
