Trending: Saturday, April 20, 2013

Update published 2:07 p.m. CST
CNN: Florida sues BP, Halliburton over 2010 oil spill

Published 10:35 a.m. CST

Following yesterday's all-day coverage of the pursuit and capture of the second Boston Marathon bombing suspect, this morning's list of top Google searches is dominated by media outlets in the following order: FOX News (1M+), Boston Globe (500,000+), MSNBC (500,000+) NBC News (500,000+), Reddit (200,000+), CBS News (100,000+) Boston.com (100,000+), (NPR 100,000+). This is quite different than users' order of preference on the day after the bombings (see Trendilla for April 16, 2013). On that day, neither FOX nor CBS did appeared, and CNN (which does not appear today), dominated. Speculation: FOX was first as (found by Trendilla yesterday) to report suspect-capture activity, so perhaps a carry-over effect remained).

Otherwise, here's what's happening with top topical searches.
