But hold the jokes: Australia is respectively second and fourth on the global list for searching such words on the world's leading Internet search engine. Advertisement The saving grace -- perhaps -- for Aussie and Kiwi men is they are No. 1 and 2 at typing "girlfriend" in the search field. Rankings for any given word on Google's Trends page, launched earlier this month, are made according to its percentage of total searches from each country. Despite the interest in porn, neither Australia nor New Zealand makes the top 10 for "sex," a group led by Muslim nations Pakistan and Egypt. The neighbors are also missing from the "romance" search top 10, which is led by Chile and the Philippines. Google says the Trends page is in the early stages of development and is based on only a portion of searches. The rankings reflect searches made since 2004.
