Google Tests Trending Searches
Bing has a cool feature: just click the search box and you get a list of
Trending searches.
Google has been testing a similar feature this year in the
Mobile search interface. It started as
an experiment in the
Google Search app for Android back in January and **w I **ticed the same experiment when visiting Google.com in Chrome.
Google shows 5
Searches that are currently popular and most of them seem to be related to recent news. Obviously, Google's results include a lot of news articles.
"The difference between
Trending and **rmal auto-complete is basically the difference of showing search suggestions based on years of query history vs the past 48 hours of search query history (in the most simplistic way),"
says Barry Schwartz, who reported about this last month.
