YakPac™ is a search front end designed in conjunction with the input of child psychology researchers as well as with input from children. The overall approach is to appeal to children without condescending to them. YacPac uses Flash technology to provide its interface characteristics, and XML and Z39.50 technology behind the scenes to support metasearching and the transformation of search results into its own environment. The software provides:

  • multiple language interfaces
  • automatic spelling aid based on Z39.50 scanning service
  • chat functionality
  • user areas for organization and self-expression

A demonstration of YakPac can be seen at http://yakpac.indexdata.com/.

YacPak, because it uses Flash technology, is not distributed under an Open Source license, as is most of Index Data's other software.
