PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next are easier than ever to use with [b]enhanced search, simpler navigation, and a refreshed design[/b] built to support student learning.
Most search tools are built around titles. That works when you know exactly what you’re looking for, but it makes broader inquiry more difficult. The new enhanced search changes that. Students can now uncover content by typing in any keyword, while educators can surface the right articles for their lessons in seconds.
@h5 What’s New in Search?
[b]Search across full articles:[/b] Students and teachers can type any word or phrase into the search bar and see where it appears. A search for "Axolotls" pulls up related articles like Salamanders, Mud Puppies, Frogs, and Newts, even if the keyword isn’t in the title. And if you can’t quite remember Taylor Swift’s fiancé? Type "football player" and number 87 shows up right away.

[b]See everything in one place[/b]. Along with the familiar dropdown, the [b]Search Results page[/b] makes it easy to scroll, skim, and discover:
* Results load continuously as you scroll.
* Content matches PebbleGo or PebbleGo Next, depending on where you started.
* A handy [b]Copy Link[/b] button lets you share results instantly.
[b]Smarter filters:[/b] Narrow results with a Subject filter, sort alphabetically or by relevance, and toggle between English and Español with one click.

Search isn’t the only thing that’s changing. The PebbleGo suite has a refreshed design to make exploration smoother and more engaging:

@h5 Why It Matters
Enhanced search supports background knowledge by helping students make connections across topics they might not think to search for directly. This broadens their understanding, strengthens comprehension, and provides a stronger foundation for classroom learning. The refreshed design reduces clutter and keeps navigation simple.
