Google Chrome has a feature that will make it easier for you to expand your Google searches. The Trending Searches tool appears when you try to type on the Google search bar on your Chrome browser. You will see top searches by other users, which is interesting if you want to expand your searching knowledge and get in the loop with the trend.

For some users, the trending searches tool is helpful, especially when they want to find out what is trendy on the Internet. Google will show trending search results depending on where your location is. That way, you know what is happening.

But, not many users find Chrome’s trending searches beneficial. They find it annoying to see suggestions that may not always be relevant to what they have in mind. If you are one of them, the good news is that you can turn off or disable the trending searches predictions in your Google Chrome web browser settings.
