Summary:
Internet search engines and the ability to competently use them factor heavily into the daily lives of youth. Whether mobile or at home, youth use search interfaces to complete academic assignments and to develop their personal identities through social interaction and explorations of personal interests. Understanding preferences and behaviors surrounding Internet search for youth is critical if adult stakeholders are to provide appropriate search education and interface design. Researchers have long focused on understanding discrete aspects of youth search behavior, but little research has at.
