Our top picks from the day's hottest searches.

1. Indoor Digital TV Antenna (Searches increased 1,230%). The June 12 transition finally pushed procrastinators to research the best ways to get a signal. Lookups also popped for "hd antenna," "smart antennas," and "antennaweb.org".
2. Kobe Bryant Wife (+542%). Kobe Bryant proved he could perform without Shaq, but the little woman surely helped the Laker in his NBA championship quest.
3. Annette Funicello (+427%). The actress' renewed buzz could be related to This TV, MGM's slate of vintage beach movies and TV shows for local TV stations needing content to fill the digital spectrum.
4. EuroCockpit (+377%). Site for the European Cockpit Association, which posted a transcript of Air France's last automatic messages.
5. World Naked Bike Ride (+160%). The fourth annual protests against "indecent exposure" to car pollution, bicyclists in about 70 cities popped wheelies without skivvies.
