The process model of information search task is established by dividing the search task into stages, which covers the key steps such as task analysis, query construction, search result screening, content interpretation, information extraction and task completion. Result/ Conclusion The study found that lower grade students showed certain information literacy ability in information extraction and utilization, but still needed the help of auxiliary staff. In addition, the study also discusses the experience and evaluation of primary school students’ use of search engines, and finds that they have a very rich experience in using search engines such as Baidu, and give a high evaluation of the search experience of Baidu, and also raises questions from the perspective of primary school students. This study is of great significance for designing reasonable teaching activities and improving elementary school students’ information literacy, and provides a new perspective and data support for future research in related fields.
