Our top picks from the day's hottest searches.

1. Tracy Pollan (Searches increased 60,017%). The missus to Michael J. Fox played the mother on "Natalee Holloway," the Lifetime channel's take on what happened to the missing Alabama girl.

2. Oklahoma City Bombing (+752%). In a grim anniversary week that includes Tiananmen Square protests and the Columbine High shootings, people observed the April 19, 1995 domestic attack on the downtown federal building.

3 Tony Mandarich (+748%). As NFL draft buzz builds, the 1989 offensive line prospect captured the dubious number one spot in a list of picks that didn't quite hold up to their promise.

4. Kitchen Countertops (+667%). Ah, spring, when thoughts turn to ripping the house apart. Better have the BBQ handy.

5. Haiku Poems (+134%).
