What today's TikTok searches reveal
Sweeney occupies 1 and 3 under two labels for the same Novig spot. UFC 331 is the only dated sports card (September 19). The TikTok Trending Searches API then fills with format tutorials (half-face, wifedat, 80's prompt, lunch) that have no matching news hits.
iPhone 18 Pro Max survived as a generic Release query at 7 after India-date and Unboxing strings dropped. GTA 6's two Spanish date queries both exited.
