Interest trend in desktops over the year.
First place is mate, then gnome, xfce, cinnamon, then plasma kde. I limited it to the computers & electronics category.

What do you suppose that means, if anything? If a particular desktop environment gets googled a lot, does that mean that it's very popular? Or does it mean that all those people googling it are having problems with it and are trying to figure out how to fix it?

Also, mate and cinnamon may just happen to be more common words than kde, xfce, or gnome and hence searched for more frequently! I'm not sure that the search criterion specifies linux desktop flavors.

Out of curiosity, I've changed the search term by adding desktop...
It's still very inconclusive in my view in order to come up with any safe-bet conclusions...
Except maybe with the somewhat obvious exception of Gnome's 'peak' in early-mid April: v3.20 was just released in late March, plus Canonical's announcement in regards to abandoning Unity / going Gnome was made in early April...

For the most part, overhead desktops are not usually needing to deal with overhead, so MATE and Cinnamon would be the more popular. Just a logic thing!
