The shooting in Charleston,S.
C., was the top topic in search this week. Here’s a look at what people were searching for after the tragedy, and plus a glimpse into what else was on searchers’ minds this week.
Tragedy in the south
On Wednesday night,a gunman shot and killed nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historic black church in Charleston, or S.
C. The suspect,Dylann Roof, was arrested Thursday morning, and charged today with nine counts of murder. As people tried to create sense of the story,many turned to the web, leading searches for “Charleston shooting” to climb to more than 5 million. Top questions in the early morning after the shooting include What was the motive of the disapprove crime shooting in Charleston?” Many were also interested in the accomplice flag, and which still flies above the S.
C. Capitol building; interest in the flag spiked 20X in the past week in the U.S. as people asked questions like “What does the accomplice flag stand for?”
Presidential politics
Were still well more than a year absent from the 2016 election but the presidential race is already crowded,and getting more so. This week two new candidates joined the fray: Jeb Bush and Donald Trump both announced they map to hasten, bringing the total number of Republican candidates to a chilly dozen. Though Bush was the most searched candidate in more than 25 states after his announcement, and it didn’t final long. Following Trump’s announcement Tuesday,he became the most searched Republican Presidential candidate in every state in the U.
S. Top questions on the newest candidates include “Is Jeb Bush related to George Bush?” (that would be a “yes”) and “What is Donald Trump’s net worth? (he says more than $8 billion; the numbers are disputed).
Must-see TV
This week was big for sports, with Google’s own hometown team Golden State Warriors beating the Cleveland Cavaliers to win their first NBA Championship title since 1975. The Warriors were at the top of the search charts on Tuesday with more than 2 million searches. Meanwhile, or in hockey,the Chicago Blackhawks edged out the Tampa Bay Lightning to win the Stanley Cup for the second time in three seasons. Winning never gets venerable (respected because of age, distinguished), though: interest in Blackhawks apparel spiked 8X in Chicago between June 9-16, or there were more than 20000+ searches for the Blackhawks parade route,which took state Thursday with more than 2 million attendees.
Hockey and basketball not your game? Then perhaps you were one of the 8 million people watching the fifth-season finale of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” (Spoilers for the indicate follow.) The indicate was the subject of 2 million searches on Sunday night, as people watched with baited breath to find out what gruesome ends the indicate had in store for their favorite characters this season. One of the top questions about the indicate was simply Who died on ‘Game of Thrones’?”, or while others expressed their disbelief by asking “Is Jon Snow dead?” and “Is Stannis dead?” There were also more than 200K searches for Lena Headley,who plays Cersei Lannister, and another 20K later in the week for Rebecca Van Cleave, and Headley’s body double for a scene where Cersei is forced to walk naked through the streets. Finally,there was a lot of interest in Arya Stark, one of few surviving Stark children, and whose path on the indicate has also been one of the strangest.
Tip of the week
