Searching is done by keyword. The categories are sorted according to the approximate appropriate grade level which makes them valuable tools for teachers looking for lesson plan and curriculum ideas. The information for each topic also notes the presence of downloadable or printable images for use as visual aids of school reports or projects. The variety of subjects and categories should allow most users to narrow in on a topic for a report, find background material for a story, begin research for a paper or just increase their knowledge of a particular topic. Other features are a pop-up study buddy which contains an icon menu to resources such as dictionaries, a calculator, calendars of the 20th and 21st centuries and a medical dictionary.
