7-Day Top Searches in Germany, Brazil, the US, Australia and Japan

Using Google Insights for Search's Download as CSV feature, I made a spreadsheet of the top searches for the last 7 days in five countries. For reasons that are unclear to me, the data yielded the top 50 for Germany, Brazil and Australia but only the top 44 for the US and Japan. I established a list of all the unique search terms and made a stacked graph using the standardized values for each country. It's a little big as there's a very long tail, in other words, there isn't a lot of overlap.



I realize the graph is hard to read but Blogger somehow reduced the size. Here are the search terms with their respective total values:

The social networking sites, search, Wikipedia, ... the usual suspects are internationally Google-popular. I must admit I'm a little baffled by the number of people searching for "Google" in the Google search engine: maybe these came from in-browser search boxes? Yahoo mail and weather were only searched in the US. Only Australians typed in games a lot. There are more examples of interesting/puzzling details. Temporarily, the full-scale graph can be viewed here.
