The things you're searching for.	June 12, 2000

Summer Splash
Pool party!
We've seen various hot-weather search terms rising recently -- pasta salad recipes, Lyme disease, and Martha's Vineyard to name a few -- but one rising topic seems to dominate all others: swimming pools.
Swimming pool queries started rising about April 15th, right after tax day, and have more than doubled since then. The most-requested terms, in order:
Swimming pools
Above-ground swimming pools
Pool supplies
Pool liners
Pool decks
Pool chemicals
Pool maintenance
Above ground pools seem to be a particular favorite of Web users -- they're the second most popular pool query after simply "swimming pools" itself. Down lower on the list we see requests for "above ground pool parts" and "splash pools." We also see a lot of queries for "Doughboy Pools," an oddly-named company which specializes in above ground pools.
So what's down near the bottom of the pool request list? Pool cabanas, pool safety, and pool slides, among others. Yes, safety last! Last week we got about 10 times as many queries for pool maintenance as for pool safety. Well, that's summertime for you.
