My first search engine, is a program that acts as a
pictorial version of 20 Questions. It is installed on a
touchscreen.
There are multiple different abstraction, based on skill
level of baby or child.
Baby: Single sheet of multiple common objects/concept,
showing and speaking name when
clicked. All are icons
representing concepts. Each icon speaks when clicked.
Toddler: Upper half of screens shows search categories,
and bottom half shows results found. Clicking top
categories will narrow the results on the bottom half, and
go down a category level for the upper half.
Child: Similar to Toddler mode, but is via words. Keyboard
quick search could be implemented.
Adult mode: Goes to google with message "you can always
change back if its too intense for you"
