Can someone who upvoted comment on what this is supposed to do? I searched `car sales in Europe` and the first chart I got is `new startups valued at 1bn or more`

I searched "tsla" and "tsla price" (and again "aapl" and "aapl price"). The first gave me more or less what I was after, the second returned results about cocaine and mdma prices per gram. As others have mentioned, absolutely miserable search, truly a groping about in the dark.

They might as well have clickable paths for you to follow based on categories and such. I would have had a lot more fun exploring their content in this way. Instead I'll probably never use this again.

It seems like these are the (manually created) charts used in qz.com articles.

I searched 'hostels in the world' and got "sugary drinks can kill" and "Fanya's rare metal bubble: Indium prices since 2011".
