Renewable energy sources have emerged as a current subject matter in Sweden amidst \u00a0discussions regarding \u00a0energy \u00a0costs, climate \u00a0change \u00a0and \u00a0development of \u00a0energy \u00a0production. \u00a0This \u00a0study \u00a0explores how Google Search is used for seeking information about wind power and how utilised search queries contribute to the understanding of this energy source. Adopting a practice theoretical perspective, the study explores search queries as doings and sayings, and understands search engines as an established part of everyday routinised information seeking-activities. Data collection was carried out in a trace ethnographic vein through the automatic retrieval of search queries enacted between November 2021 and October 2022. The search queries were analysed and visualised according to their prevalence and meaning. \u00a0A \u00a0qualitative, \u00a0multiple \u00a0coding \u00a0approach \u00a0was \u00a0moreover \u00a0used \u00a0for \u00a0the \u00a0identificationand interpretation of themes and subthemes. The results show \u00a0that geographical locations, wind power functions and small wind turbines comprise the most prominent subthemes of the search queries. This is replicated also in the search term frequencies, providing further insights to queries related to wind turbine\u2019s efficiency as well as subthemes of advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the study shows the tendency to phrase search queries as simple questions for complex matters, with nuances being \u00a0lost \u00a0in \u00a0the \u00a0pursuit \u00a0of \u00a0austere, \u00a0uncomplicated \u00a0answers. \u00a0Altogether, \u00a0the \u00a0results \u00a0contribute \u00a0to \u00a0a wider understanding of how environmental information seeking is conducted today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
