After all, it's a gold mine a bottomless treasure chest of facts, figures, news, games, trivia, homework help and more. But just as your kids develop "book smarts" and "street smarts", they'll need to acquire "search smarts" the tricks of safe, constructive and efficient searching. Here are some tips, along with recommendations on top-notch kids' search-engines. The Nitty-Gritty on Search-Engines To be Search-Savvy, you need to know which search-engines are best. Here's a comparison of seven kid-focused search-engines. Our research was conducted using real kids' queries, for instance, several of our testers were researching reports, one on Native Americans, another on black-footed ferrets. We also searched on kids' areas of interest, like Britney Spears and Pokemon. To explore each site's "safety", we searched on words like "sex". On a sad note: In years past, one of our favorite kids' search engines was Searchopolis. As of August, 2001, N2H2, the parent company behind Searchopolis, no longer offers this engine.

The Internet is a bit like a giant shoe store filled with millions of shoes: theres so much to choose from, but you have to do some searching to find what youre looking for. And just like in the shoe store once you find something that might be exactly what you want, you have to try it on to see if it fits. The Internet works the same way: you can search for and find many websites with a lot of information, but you have to read through the information to see if it fits your assignment. Using UPPER CASE (capital) and lower case (small) letters Some search tools can tell if you are using upper case or lower case letters. If you search using only UPPER CASE letters, some search tools will only find words that use only upper case letters. If you search using both Upper Case and lower case letter, some search tools will only find words that use both upper and lower case letters. If you search using only lower case letters, all search tools will find words that use UPPER or lower case letters.
