Google announced The revamped Explore Trends website launches on Wednesday, now including Gemini-powered features that automatically identify and compare trends related to your searches. The update will be available on desktop computers today.
The Trend Exploration page has long been a valuable tool for content creators, journalists and researchers, making it easy to analyze search interest for any topic over time, across regions and by category. The new Gemini experience streamlines much of the manual work involved in researching trending topics, reducing research time and discovering connections that users might otherwise miss.
The redesigned Explore page now includes a sidebar that automatically identifies and compares relevant trends in your area of interest. Users will also see a list of suggested Gemini prompts to help with deeper exploration.
The site has a refreshed look, with dedicated icons and colors for each search term, making it easier to match them to the corresponding lines on the chart. Additionally, Google has increased the number of terms users can compare and doubled the number of ascending queries displayed on each timeline.
The Google blog post uses popular dog breeds as an example to illustrate the new possibilities. The artificial intelligence automatically populates the chart with up to eight search terms, such as “golden retriever” or “beagle.” It also suggests related topics, such as “hypoallergenic dog breeds” or “large dog breeds”, for further research. Users can hover over a term to edit it, or use filters by country, time, and properties to customize the Trends timeline.
This update is part of Google's ongoing efforts to incorporate Gemini into its core offering. The company has already added AI features to Search, Gmail, Maps and Docs.
