What is Searcher ZA?

Searcher ZA tracks what South Africa is searching for. Once a day it reads the top trending searches from Google Trends, then writes a short, plain-English explainer of each one — what it is and why people are looking it up right now.

Every explainer is generated automatically and grounded in the related news headlines Google surfaces for that search. Stories are ranked by approximate search volume over the last 24 hours.
