Key takeaways
  • TikTok publishes its own trending search topics inside Creator Search Insights; this page mirrors that list with the 7-day search figure for each topic.
  • The "7-day searches" column is the number TikTok labels Search popularity on the topic page.
  • Content gaps are topics with real search demand and almost no videos, which is the fastest way to get found in search.
  • Refreshed weekly from a saved snapshot you can open.

These are the topics TikTok itself reports as trending in search this week, with the 7-day search figure TikTok attaches to each. TokConnect pulls them from Creator Search Insights every week, so you see what people type into the TikTok search bar, not a roundup of viral videos.

Today's fastest risers are on what's trending on TikTok today; the biggest searches overall are on most searched topics on TikTok. Jump to the tables.

How to use this list

  • Creators: pick a typed search with a big 7-day count and few videos, and film the exact phrase.
  • Brands: check whether a rising topic fits your product before you join it.
  • Sellers: confirm a rising product search with sales in TikTok Shop Analytics before you stock it.

21 of the 58 typed searches have no videos matched: "nasa confirm 3 days darkness 2026" (4.7M searches) and "seven sizzling sausages in a saucepan" (4.5M searches). A clear video that says the exact phrase has nothing to beat. How to read a zero: content gap guide.

Ranked by TikTok's own popularity score in the Trending tab of Creator Search Insights. The sparkline is the last seven days.

TikTok names these topics itself and folds many related searches into each one, so the figure is the size of the topic, not the number of people typing that exact phrase. Compare them with each other, not with the typed searches above.
