It’s good of Google to allow hashtag queries on their search engine in order to allow people to find the trending topics they want. Of course, as the owner of a hashtag-crazy social media site in Google+, it’s no surprise that their searches seem a bit biased.

Though a little late to the party, Google’s search engine has finally embraced #hashtagmania, albeit in a totally self-serving way.

The search giant announced Wednesday that it’s letting people in the US and Canada query its engine for hashtags, meaning now they can type in something like “#emmys” or “#nfl” or “americascup” on Google.com to see related status updates appear to the right of regular results.
