Have Slovenes Found What They’re Looking For?
The most searched-for words in the first half of 2006, according to Slovenia’s biggest search engine, Najdi:
| Term | Explanation | # of Searches |
| "Games" | Amazingly, beat out searches for "sex," "weather" and "telephone listings." | >1,000,000 |
| "Nina Osenar" | The most searched-for person on Najdi. Nina was in the Slovenian incantation of "The Bachelorette" and also got nekkid for Playboy. The latter presumably had a lot to do with the high number of queries. If you’re curious, those pictures are here: 1, 2, 3. (NSFW, obviously) | 106,478 |
| "Omar Naber" | The former Eurovision singer for Slovenia was the most searched-for male in the first half of this year. Proof positive that a sizeable number of Slovenes take their Eurovision contestants seriously. | 53,706 |
| "Anžej Dežan" | Another former Eurovision singer. See what I mean? | 42,678 |
| "Ronaldinho" | The toothy Brazilian footballer was the most searched for athlete (so far) this year. | 28,428 |
| "Janez Drnovšek" | Although Slovenia’s president can’t compete with Eurovision hopefuls, he’s still the most searched-for politician of early 2006. | 18,746 |
| "George Bush" | The American president takes second place, but still remains far behind — with five times less searches than "Drni." | ca. 3,500 |

Ah, but of course! And now when our fearless leader Janez Jansa will read this blog (he’s learning English, you know), he will shake his bald head in disbelief and a stunning cry will burst out from the depths of his soul lamenting the fact that the other Janez is more popular on the net. It will all lead to government takeover of Najdi.si search engine
Thank God Michael’s back. Now I can finally read something interesting while at work.
Michael, you’re being quite the modest mouse. We know that your name has got to be high on the list. Heck, I Googled your name at least 100 times a day trying to find out if you were located in:
1) A hospital
2) A resort
3) A cave
4) A rest home (Hmmm, that author sounds familiar. Maybe he was doing some personal research here?
5) A house of (somewhat) ill repute
6) A cemetary
I’m sure there were other Carnolia readers just as, if not moreso, obsessed with your well-being.
Come on, tell us what your rank was?
I’m sure if you’d posed naked for Popular Mechanics, the rating would have been even higher.
Peng: What’s really strange is that I wouldn’t be shocked if Najdi was nationalized. Surprised, maybe, but not shocked.Aurokuror: There’s always Nina Osenar’s page!
@Michael M: What? No more Natalija Verboten links? Found a new object of worship, I see :)) Well, just wait till Natalija takes it all off for Playboy….
Oh, Oh. You’re back and so is that mysterious Comment-Hitler! Think Seinfeld’s “Soup Nazi” and you’ll get the idea. My last comment (painstakingly put together) has been banished, it seems.
Whoops, apologies Darko! All these comment problems will be fixed very soon when I leave the House of the Rising Moveable Type and enter Wordpress.
Thank god you’re back. I was having a helluva time finding links with photos of hot Slovenian babes. I had to “read the articles” and give up my ambiguous orientation. “No, I’m not gay, I’m reading about Slovenia! Back off!”
Hooray.
