Abstract
Since launching Google Trends we have seen extensive interest in what can be
learned from search trends. A plethora of studies have shown how to use search
trends data for effective nowcasting in diverse areas such as health, finance,
economics, politics and more. We give an overview of Google Trends and Nowcasting,
highlighting some exciting Big Data challenges, including large scale engineering,
effective data analysis, and domain specific considerations.
