Downloadable text file of popular search terms?

[Dougmeister]

Does anyone know where I could download the top hundred/thousand search terms? It can be in any format (txt, xml, xls, etc.)

Thanks.

I've found websites that list them, but I don't see an easy way to download them as *just* the search words/phrases themselves.

E.g., http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends shows me trending searches, and this link gives the site feed, but I'm not sure if that can be easily translated into the bare bones "search words only" for which I'm looking.

Edit: http://soovle.com/top/ looks promising...

you could write a script that scrapes the html page of that last URL you provide and just pulls out the terms then saves it to a file that is downloadable. it actually would be pretty simple with a regex.

basically make a link that will do all of that, and then present the user with a "save" dialog.

only downside is if they change their page, you will have to update your script.

Search terms over how long of a time period? Over 1 day would give different results than over the past year?

What are you trying to accomplish? What is the use case ... and requirements?
