Google Trends: Improving search results for Most Searched Words Google
Refine your queries to get more useful data. Moving beyond the basics. Google Trends allows you to easily see the stories and subjects that are drawing attention. Exploring topics is a relatively simple process, and Trends includes some features and options to help refine your results. There are several ways to get the precise data you need to help prompt a story idea or support a point.
Refining your search using punctuation. You can use punctuation to filter your Trends search results. For example, if you’re writing a story about alternative energy and search the term wind farm, with no punctuation, your results will contain both words in any order, along with other words (offshore wind farm, new methods to farm wind, wind saves the farm, etc.). No misspellings, spelling variations, synonyms, or plural or singular versions of your terms will be included.
Refining your search by region for Most Searched Words Google. When you search for a term in Google Trends, your results will include a map of the world showing areas where your term is popular. Darker shades indicate where your term has a higher probability of being searched. Simply hovering over a region will activate a pop-up window that reveals its search volume index. On the right of the map is a list view icon that displays the ranking of top regions or cities based on your term’s popularity.
There is so much more you do to refine your search.

Creating your own data visualizations. While Google Trends data visualizations can be embedded just as they appear on the Trends site, you may occasionally want to use only the data from these charts to create your own, customized visualization for a story.
- To separate the data from the chart, you’ll want to download its CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. On the results page (where the charts appear) click Download in the upper right of each chart.
- Once downloaded, you can open the file and build custom charts using a spreadsheet application like Google Sheets or import them into data visualization tools like Flourish.
