Thousands of refugees who fled from their countries for various reasons and hit the road in hopes of establishing a new life set via the Google search engine.

"What is the distance to Greece to seek asylum?" "What are the weather conditions in İzmir?" and "What is the wave height in the Aegean Sea today?"
