Yakov Sadchikov, co-founder and CEO of Quintura, got in touch to tell me about his company’s new search engine for kids called (duh) Quintura for Kids. There are other kid-friendly search engines out there (summed up in 2005 by Danny Sullivan on Search Engine Watch), but what I especially like about Quintura is the clickable tag cloud that appears as a supplement to the search term.

For example, I searched for “elephant,” and in addition to a list of relevant links, this lovely cloud appeared, presenting me with a trail of related terms I could follow to find out more.

The interface is clean and friendly, with the simplicity of Google’s single text box (even though the search itself rests on top of Yahoo! Kids) on an engaging graphical backdrop. Seems like a nice way to introduce kids to online research.
