In Russia, Yandex is more popular than Google, due to their better handling of Russian language. Would be curious to see the trends there... I'll do some research.

Interesting, Russia is number one at the google trends "bitcoin" search Smiley
I guess the Russians really like bitcoin or at least trying to find a way to get their money outside of Cyprus haha

In some of these countries people use other local search engines.  Some of governments are blocking google, faceboook, etc.  As a result, Google may deliver only a part of the whole world picture.

True, I did not think about it... but the only 2 that comes up to my head are the Chinese Baidu and the american Yahoo Tongue
Google in general is the most popular search engine in most countries

Google trends have a little map that mention the regional interest
One thing I noticed is the huge different between the words "bitcoin" and "bitcoins"

http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en#q=bitcoin
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en#q=bitcoins

but what i'm really curious about is why all the arab world, India, china and ect... don't show any interest in the bitcoin? these are the places who suffer from money instability the most (Iran, Egypt and ect unlike Argentina who have a money crisis do show high interest int he bitcoin). In addition these countries need the anonymity of the bitcoin the most

Any opinions?

Edit:
after adding silver, I can see that "bitcoin" is more relevant than "bitcoins" Smiley
