Young users require emotional sup- port, language support, memory and cognitive support, interaction support and support to judge document relevance. We discuss pos- sible solutions for each challenge. We also present a working pro- totype of a web search interface whose main target group are users of primary school age. Our interface is colourful and voice sup- ported, contains possibilities for both searching through text in- put and browsing in menu categories, has a guidance avatar for emotional support and a result storage functionality to support chil- dren’s cognitive recall.
