ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Exploratory search

Hi there little one! Today, I am going to tell you about something called exploratory search.

You know how sometimes you have a question or you want to learn something new, but you don't really know how to find the answer? That's where exploratory search comes in!

Exploratory search is a way of looking for information when you don't have a clear idea of what you're looking for. It's like going on an adventure to find out something new!

Let's say you want to learn about animals. You might start by typing "animals" into a search engine. But then you see there are so many different types of animals! So you might start clicking on different websites and reading about different animals to try and figure out what you're really interested in learning about.

Exploratory search lets you explore different options to narrow down your search to what you're really interested in. It's like going on a safari, but instead of looking for animals, you're looking for information!

So next time you want to learn something new but don't know where to start, remember exploratory search! It's a fun and exciting way to find out something new!
