Google was announced A revamped Trends Explore page launched on Wednesday, now featuring Gemini-powered features that automatically identify and compare trends related to your searches. The update will roll out to desktop computers starting today.
The Trends Explore page has long served as a valuable tool for content creators, journalists and researchers, making it easy to analyze search interest on any topic over time, by region and by category. The new Gemini experience streamlines much of the manual work involved in exploring trending topics, reducing research time and showing connections that users might otherwise overlook.
The redesigned Explore page now features a sidebar that automatically identifies and compares relevant trends in your area of interest. Users will also see a list of recommended Gemini prompts to help with deeper exploration.
The page has a refreshed design, with special icons and colors for each search term, making it easier to match them to their corresponding lines on the chart. In addition, Google increased the number of terms that users can compare and doubled the number of growing queries that appear in each timeline.
A Google blog post uses modern dog breeds as an example to demonstrate the new capabilities. AI 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 exploration. Users can hover over a term to edit it, or use country, time, and property filters to customize the Trends timeline.
This update is part of Google’s ongoing effort to integrate Gemini into its core offerings. The company has already added AI capabilities to Search, Gmail, Maps and Documents.
