Kiolix Pulse Now Covers 26 Countries: Expanding Global Trend Monitoring

We Just Wanted Accurate Information

Every day, an overwhelming amount of news and content is published around the world. Figuring out what people actually care about — not what publishers want you to click — is harder than it should be. Kiolix Pulse was built out of a simple frustration: tired of sensationalized content, we just wanted to know what people are genuinely paying attention to right now.

With Kiolix Pulse, you can see what people around the world are actually searching for and interested in, tracked across 1-hour, 1-day, and 7-day windows. We also provide prompts designed to help you ask AI about trending topics in a way that is grounded in verified information — not just a surface-level search, but a structured way to get meaningful analysis from AI tools.


6 New Countries Added Today

We have been monitoring trends across 20 countries, and today we added 6 more.

The newly added countries are:

  • Russia

  • Thailand

  • Nigeria

  • Argentina

  • Netherlands

  • South Africa

Kiolix Pulse now monitors Google trending searches across 26 countries in total: the United States, Japan, India, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, Indonesia, Egypt, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Spain, Italy, Taiwan, Australia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Turkey — now joined by these six new additions.

Monitoring multiple countries simultaneously reveals interesting patterns. Some trends stay local, specific to a single country. Others start in one place and ripple outward, and you can watch that spread happen in near real-time. With this expansion, we now have broader coverage across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.


What the Hantavirus Trend Showed Us

Not every day brings a major story that captures worldwide attention. But when a trend does take hold across many countries at once, it gives you something genuinely interesting to think and talk about.

The hantavirus trend sustained itself for over a week across multiple countries. Within that same week, someone had already built and published a hantavirus spread map. We had not thought to build one ourselves — partly because the risk of a pandemic-level outbreak seemed low — but the speed of that execution was impressive.

It is a good reminder that trend data means different things to different people, and that others will find uses for it that we have not even considered.

Noise Is Filtered Out

Items that people search regularly or on a predictable schedule — sports scores, lottery results, weekly TV schedules — are filtered out of the trends. What Kiolix Pulse surfaces are the topics that are drawing new attention right now, not the ones that always appear.

Download the Data If You Need It

For those who want the underlying data, trend results are available for download as CSV or Excel files. We have also added a map view to the country-specific trend pages.
