If you also use Google to search for anything on the Internet at least 3 times a day, then you are amongst 84% of the people using Google.
But have you also wondered what is the most searched thing on Google? Do other people also search for weird and sometimes embarrassing things or questions on Google? You’ll be surprised to know that you are not alone!
To scratch this itch, I started with one of the most powerful keyword-searching tools, Semrush, and compiled the most popular searches on Google from January to April 30th 2024.
Note: The below data is up to date till 30th April 2024. To compile the data, I searched across Semrush’s 24.9B keywords and filtered the data by volume, and converted it into a list of top 100 searches.
I came across some expected leaders and some unexpected ones too.
I also steered clear of all the NSFW searches and kept this list clean and relevant from an informative angle.
Let’s go straight in!

Conclusion: As of 2024, The Most Searched Thing On Google Is YouTube
Searching for anything has become synonymous with Google. So much so that ‘Googling’ is now known as a verb that means– to search on Google.
Much like for these brands, Xerox, Frisbee, Post-it, Q-tips, Jell-O, and Band-aid, the product has become synonymous with the brand.
Like Google, I would be excited to see the top searches generated from AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Bard, Bing AI, and others to see the range and differences between the search intents and if they are any different from Google’s.
