TLDR

Google Trends now allows filtering the Explore page by pre-defined categories to discover trending searches and exclude irrelevant categories without needing to enter a specific query.

Google added category filters to the Trends Explore page, letting users browse top-searched terms within specific categories like "All Books & Literature" across regions and timeframes, or apply a category filter to a query to exclude overlapping searches. The feature can assist content creators in finding topic ideas within a particular vertical while filtering out unrelated search categories.
