Perhaps it’s the geek part of me but I’m always fascinated by what people use the Internet for. Just in time for Canada Day search engine Bing shares their Top 50 Canadiana Search Terms. Did you expect these to be on the list?
“On July first, Canadians will join together to celebrate our country’s culture – Bing’s Top 50 Canadiana Search Terms list is a reflection of the many people, places, and things that affected Canadians this year,” said Eric Thaler, Bing Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Canada. “From where to find the items needed to help combat extreme weather, to getting the latest travel tips and updates on noteworthy Canadians, Bing is helping more Canadians understand and act on the world around them.”
Bing’s Top 50 Canada Search Terms list, pulled by the organization’s expert data analysts, was sourced through the analysis of all Canada-related search terms from May 2013-May 2014. Like those searching Via Rail, Niagara Falls, and Ripley’s Aquarium Toronto I’m all about doing a little travel and site seeing now that winter is behind us.
Perhaps as a way to recognize what has been on the minds of Canadians as the take to their computers, Bing is offering one (1) EverythingMom reader a Bing Top 10 Canadiana Search Giveaway. The gift basket consists of something based on some of the top 10 searched items (valued at $100 Cdn):

I’ve been searching about plant care to see which plants need little care, making a flower garden and I don’t want to spend lots of money and they die on me because I neglected them
That sounds like the type of search I need to do. I love the idea of plants but I too am not very good at keeping them alive.
I have been searching for makeup brushes.
Our Junior Style Blogger has been a little obsessed with make-up brushes lately, watching and reading all sorts of reviews.
recipes – lots of them
Toronto Islands
I have been searching for totem poles because my son has been asking for more information on them ever since we saw them at Stanley Park in Vancouver.
I have been searching summerlicious, expedia and Game of Thrones
The last search I did was for the NHL draft, this morning. 🙂
I’ve been searching Toronto stuff, including Mirvish productions for the fall, and the Ripleys Aquarium for the summer.
Anything to do with babies!
Yes babies do pose a lot of queries don’t they Tanis. Even as my kids are out of the baby stage I find I’m still searching for things online based on the stage they are going through.
I’ve been searching for westjet, expedia, trip advisor, and the weather network lately.
I can guess what’s on your mind Angela 🙂
I have been searching for bad B movies, sharknado has re-inspired a love of awful movies
I love b-movies too. You’ll have to share some of your favourite picks Michelle.
I searched for info on potty training and on the show Chopped Canada recently.
Yes I remember the potty training stage Heidi.
