New York Times article

1. What problems does the article mention that children run into when they use search engines?
The problem they have is that sometimes the search engine does not understand the question. Then they give up and say the question was not important.
2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?
The search engines should make it more for everyone for adults and children. They try to show related searches.
3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching?
I search by questions. That by asking questions it expands the options for the sites.
4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching?

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?
Well I think they should expand searches and ask people to answer variety of questions.
