Product intelligence modules & options

The Product Intelligence search type exposes seven Modules in the captured build: Product Trends, Trending Now, Scholar Search, Events, Patents, Ad Creatives and Apple Apps. Each is a single-purpose Module running against one data source — this search type does not offer OneScan. For the composer flow that surrounds these Modules, see Product intelligence search: overview.

The Product Intelligence Module grid showing seven tiles — Product Trends (selected, coral-orange border), Trending Now, Scholar Search, Events, Patents, Ad Creatives and Apple Apps — each labelled with its data source

The Modules

Each tile shows the Module name, its data source as a “(Data: …)” sub-label, and a short descriptor. Only the default Product Trends Module was captured in its selected state, so it is the only Module whose full description panel, input options and Cost per search value were observed.

Module	data source	Cost	What it returns
Product Trends (selected/lead Module)	Google Trends	Free (0 Credits)	Product search-trend analysis over time
Trending Now	Google Trends	Not captured — see caution	Current trending topics
Scholar Search	Google Scholar	Not captured — see caution	Academic publications
Events	Google Calendar	Not captured — see caution	Google Calendar events
Patents	Google Patents	Not captured — see caution	Patent records
Ad Creatives	Google Ads	Not captured — see caution	Google Ads creative data
Apple Apps	Apple	Not captured — see caution	App Store listings

Product Trends

Product Trends is the lead Module and is shown selected when the search type is captured. Its tile is drawn with a coral-orange highlighted border. On screen it is labelled Product Trends (Data: Google Trends) with the sub-label “Google Trends data”.

• Description panel: “Analyse product search trends over time using Google Trends. Useful for market research and competitive analysis.”
• Input: a Search Query field with the placeholder e.g. iphone, plus three dropdowns beside it — Location (captured default Auto-detect), Language (captured default Auto-detect) and Search-Type (labelled Search Type on screen, captured default Web Search).
• Cost: the line beneath the input reads “Cost per search: Free” — the Module consumes no Credits per search.
• Data source: Google Trends.

Trending Now

Trending Now is labelled Trending Now (Data: Google Trends) with the sub-label “Current trending topics”. It returns current trending topics via Google Trends.

Scholar Search

Scholar Search is labelled Scholar Search (Data: Google Scholar) with the sub-label “Academic publications”. It returns academic publications via Google Scholar.

Events

Events is labelled Events (Data: Google Calendar) with the sub-label “Google Calendar events”. It returns events via Google Calendar.

Patents

Patents is labelled Patents (Data: Google Patents) with the sub-label “Patent records”. It returns patent records via Google Patents.

Ad Creatives

Ad Creatives is labelled Ad Creatives (Data: Google Ads) with the sub-label “Google Ads data”. It returns Google Ads creative data via Google Ads.

Apple Apps

Apple Apps is labelled Apple Apps (Data: Apple) with the sub-label “App Store search”. It returns App Store listings via Apple.

Caution

Only Product Trends was captured in its selected state. Its description panel, its input options (the Search Query field plus the Location, Language and Search-Type dropdowns) and its Cost per search value (Free) are the only ones asserted here. For Trending Now, Scholar Search, Events, Patents, Ad Creatives and Apple Apps the description panel, exact input format and Cost per search value shown after selecting the tile were not captured — the sub-labels above are the visible tile text, not full descriptions. Each is expected to take a search query, but only the default’s input was directly observed. Confirm the input and the Cost per search line on-screen before running any non-default Module.

The data sources behind the Modules

Every Product Intelligence Module names its data source in its tile sub-label, as “(Data: …)”. Unlike some search types where the data source was not captured, all six data sources here are captured on screen, and each has an integration page:

Module	data source	Integration page
Product Trends	Google Trends	Google Trends
Trending Now	Google Trends	Google Trends
Scholar Search	Google Scholar	Google Scholar
Events	Google Calendar	Google Calendar
Patents	Google Patents	Google Patents
Ad Creatives	Google Ads	Google Ads
Apple Apps	Apple	Apple App Store

For how Modules map to data sources in general, see How UserSearch works and the data-source integrations index.

OneScan and per-search options

Caution

In the captured build the Product Intelligence search type shows no OneScan Module, no Choose Data Source configuration modal, and no entity-type tabs. Each of the seven Modules runs on its own against a single data source. The only per-search options observed are the Location, Language and Search-Type dropdowns beside the Search Query input (captured on the default Module as Auto-detect, Auto-detect and Web Search). This differs from search types such as Username Intelligence or Public Leaks, where OneScan and a Choose Data Source modal are available. See OneScan explained for how OneScan and its Choose Data Source filters work where they are offered.

Per-tile controls

Each non-selected Module tile carries a help (?) icon that opens Module-specific help.

Caution

The content shown by the per-tile ? help icon was not captured, and no per-tile tutorial (film/video) icon or gear (per-Module settings) control was confirmed for this search type. Their exact contents are not asserted here.

Note

Product Trends is the app’s fixed out-of-box default for this Search type, not a persisted last-used preference (per Lee, 2026-07-10). You can still select any other Module before running.
