Key findings
- Memes, music and media is the largest theme: 253 distinct suggestions, 13.4% of the 1,887 in the index.
- Google and YouTube lean different ways. Google leans toward meaning, slang and translations (21.1% of its suggestions against 3.1% on YouTube). YouTube leans toward creators and streamers (7.8% of its suggestions against 0.8% on Google).
- Work and LinkedIn stay small: 10 suggestions in total. The live-action role-play hobby itself accounts for 226.
- The long tail is real: 498 suggestions, 26.4% of the index, match none of the themes, and that includes many single-letter completions.
- This is the baseline edition. Month-over-month change appears from the next edition, once there is a second dated collection to compare with.
