Search engines and search tools for kids and teenagersPandia Kids and Teens is our all-in-one list of search engines and directories for children and teenagers. You can search the Web using our search form. Be sure to check out the categories below too!
Search Engines
Directories Most of the search engines made for kids and teens are not really search engines, but search directories. Kids search directories are collections of Web sites made specially for children and teenagers. These sites are gathered by human beings like you and me. They look at the sites and consider whether they are useful and fun enough for young people. Resource Collections Even with the help of search engines and directories, it can be difficult to find exactly what you need on the web. To help kids and teens to find their way online, parents, teachers and librarians have collected links to web content especially for you. If you are looking for normal search engines of the grown up type, you should go to our Powersearch all in one search page.

The Pandia Kids & Teens search boxAll you have to do is to enter a few words in the search form field above (the one marked "Search the Web"). Then click on the "Go!" button. If you want to use another search engine you click on the "double arrow" near the word "Select". Move your cursor (the mouse pointer) down until you find the search engine you want to use. Easy ways to better web searching
If you want to make sure that the word you are looking for really is on the Web pages the search engine find for you, put a + sign in front of the word, like this: +elephant There should be no space between the + and the word. If you want to take make sure that you do not get pages about Indian elephants, you may ask the search engine to remove pages that have the word indian on them. You can do this by adding a - (minus sign) in front of the word, like this: -indian. This is risky, though, you will for instance loose all pages that has stuff about African elephants in Indian zoos! If you are searching for a person or a term with many words, you may put double quotation marks in front of and after the words, like this: "Britney Spears". In this way you won't get all the pages on the Web that has the word spears on them, or pages about Britney Smith (whoever that is).

Search engine spiders are automatic programs that jump from one link to the other gathering all the content on the Web pages they find. So when using a search engine you actually search the text ound on all the pages the spider has gathered.
It is better to enter two or three words than just one. If you want to find stuff about African elephants in Zoos, it's better to enter the words african elephants zoo than elephants only.
