Is TikTok becoming the go-to place for search?

We’ve mentioned before that TikTok has become a search engine.

That’s true now more than ever.

You want it, TikTok’s got it: A new study from Adobe shows that 10% of Gen Z chooses TikTok over Google as their go-to search engine.

Meanwhile, 49% of millennials, 29% of Gen X, and 14% of Baby boomers also say they’ve used TikTok as a search engine.

Top search topics include: Recipes, music, DIY tips, and fashion advice.

Oh, and 62% of users say video tutorials are their preferred content.

Adobe also surveyed business owners, and found interesting results.

Especially if you’re in one of the most searched industries…
