Ask HN: Gaming Google Search Trends

The other day I was on Google and noticed some amusing Google trending suggestions and it got me to thinking, is it possible to game that system? I know it's Google and all, but if you create a big enough (consistent) flow of searches, is it possible to get what you want to show up?

One could easily write a couple browser extensions and nix scripts to constantly make the same query over tor, proxy servers and legitimate networks over and over again at random times. The whole thing could run forever and in time one would think the trend would get picked up by Google and get inserted.

I can only imagine Google protects against this by looking at the patterns of the searches and checking to see if their relevant (ex: major disaster, crazy event). I sure they also include trending suggestions based on location, so even if it worked, how would you see it?

Creating the extensions, tools and other scripts wouldn't take that long. The whole thing in the rawest sense should be as simple as a open url, make query, close url.
