Something You Should Know · The Science of Getting Lucky & What People Secretly Google · 7 May 2026 podcast

And often those things are not necessarily around themselves, but they're around others, like how to help maybe somebody with anxiety.

You can really see that in the data.

So we did a project where we looked at what people search for how to fix in different countries.

And in the US, it's things like light bulbs and windows.

And in France, it's toilets.

You know, it's like there are things that are same in the way we search and there are things that are very different around the world.

in the way that people search.

This all tells us something.

But a lot of searches are about everyday stuff.

And the other thing about it is it's incredibly ephemeral.

So you might be searching for Tom Cruise movies one moment.

The next you'll be searching for trying to understand why a story's in the news or how to help somebody in your family.

So I'd say that it just kind of reflects us in our weirdnesses and that we search for one thing one second and another completely different thing a second later.

how often do p how many times how often do people search google oh when there are billions every day i mean i don't know the total numbers because it's always changing so i can't tell you how many there are on a given day but i can compare one place to another place um so you can compare a big city to a small one for instance and where most of where's the biggest hub of google searches

I mean, it just reflects population really.

So if you did a map of the world in Google searches, what you would see is basically just reflects where humans are.

Where people are, they're gonna be searching and you can definitely see that through the data.

I hate to tell you that basically most searches are pretty normal.

The stuff that we all do, whether it's like parenting or food or health or pets or grief even, because most of the searches we do are things that we all have in common.

Obviously, you know, weird stuff happens in the world.
