It is really common to go straight to Google or a default search engine, but sometimes that is not the best for kids' research. Search results can be geared towards an older audience, too commercial (selling things), or not good quality. It can be tricky because a good looking website might have poor information. So, we have been using Kiddle.co in the library for research with topics like: events of the American Revolution. Results have been much better! Another great option is Sweetsearch.com, especially for the upper grades. Results are previewed for quality!
