Abstract
A user interface (UI) for visualizing search data provides techniques for grouping and organizing aggregate data that shows the categories of topics included in search queries from a large number of individual users. Raw search queries are categorized into one of a number of topical categories. The search queries are assigned to a geographic location based on geolocations of computing devices generating the search queries. The UI presents a map that shows the number of search queries per topical category for each geographic location displayed in the current UI view. As a result of this UI design, a user can easily understand the interaction between geographic location and frequency of search query topics. Trends in the geographic distribution of searches and in the categories of topics searched are also easily understood from this UI design by changing the time range of the search queries displayed.
