Kids Search is designed for elementary, middle, and junior high school students. It combines a state-of-the-art search engine and a friendly, graphically-rich design that is both powerful and fun to use. Kids Search makes it easy for students to look for subjects of interest by automatically searching across several databases simultaneously. It offers the ability to search by topic, subtopic, or keywords; to sort results by relevance, as well as by date; the option of filtering search results by source type; and the ability to add search results, images, or persistent links to searches to a folder. Students can explore the topic of the month and see top searches. For teachers there is a quick link to resources.
