Most of the times children are not experienced searchers. They have a hard time trying to find keywords related with what they are looking for. Most of the times children search the exact thing they want to know, for example questions like "who is the president?".
2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?
Instead of searching words you could search images. Suggested searches appear under the typed words. Also, it is believed that children don't have problems of their own. They're the same problems adults have, but magnified.
3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching?
I usually use keywords that relate to my topic. In this article they suggest the usage of keywords, search engines try to facilitate your searches by suggesting them to you.
4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching?
Nope
This would be a very innovative style of searching but more appropriate for children.
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?
I don't really have problems when researching a topic, but I would suggest improvements in the search engine's suggestions.
I thinks some of the ideas they show are promising because children will be more capable of searching in search engines more effectively.
