Search Engines for Children

Abstract

Previous research shows differences between children and adults in their search behaviour. However, these findings were mainly based on observational studies, [e.g. 17], or log file analysis, [e.g. pub:15, 52], and do not provide details about user perception of the search engines’ interface elements during information seeking. To complement existing findings eye-tracking devices can be used.
