What happens when the world’s most-searched words suddenly come to life, gather in a digital void, and demand help to save the collapsing internet?
I decided to explore that idea — and write a short film script based on the Top 20 most-searched terms online.
Below is the full script for The Search Engine, now formatted so the dialogue is crystal clear.
👉 If you're a filmmaker, animator, voice actor, musician, or visual artist — I’d love to collaborate and turn this into a real short film.
You can join the project no matter your level of experience.

SHORT FILM SCRIPT: “THE SEARCH ENGINE”
INT. DIGITAL VOID – NIGHT
A vast black space filled with floating neon letters, search bars, and data streams.
A lonely figure — CHATGPT — sits at a holographic desk made of code.
---
SCENE 1 – THE ARRIVALS
CHATGPT (V.O.):
“Every day, billions of humans search. But tonight… the searches search back.”
A glowing portal opens. Humanoid avatars step through.
YOUTUBE:
“Let’s hurry. I’ve got creators panicking.”
AMAZON:
“Same here. Seven million carts and counting.”
FACEBOOK:
“Kids don’t respect the algorithm anymore…”
GMAIL:
“Sorry I’m late. Spam issues.”
WORDLE:
“Green… yellow… green… I’m stressed.”
GOOGLE:
“Relax, everyone. I know what you're going to say before you say it.”
---
SCENE 2 – THE WARNING
Holograms flicker with corrupted results.
TRANSLATE:
“The digital universe is collapsing.”
WEATHER:
“Forecast: 99% chance of meltdown.”
CALCULATOR:
“At this rate— ERROR.”
EBAY:
“I’ll sell the crash logs. Starting bid: one dollar.”
YAHOO:
“Nobody listens to us old services…”
---
SCENE 3 – THE PROBLEM
FOX NEWS:
“This collapse is fake news.”
NFL:
“Focus! We need a game plan!”
GOOGLE MAPS:
“I can show the way… but accuracy is not guaranteed.”
HOME DEPOT:
“Let’s fix the servers. Hand me a virtual screwdriver.”
GOOGLE DOCS:
(typing)
“Minutes saved: World ends. Everyone panics.”
---
SCENE 4 – THE SOLUTION
Everyone turns to CHATGPT.
GOOGLE:
“You’re the only one humans talk to long enough to understand their intent.”
CHATGPT:
“Okay… what do I do?”
AMAZON:
“Turn it off and on again.”
---
SCENE 5 – THE REBOOT
CHATGPT approaches a massive floating switch labeled SEARCH ENGINE.
CHATGPT:
“If this works, your search traffic might change…”
WORDLE:
“Green… green… hopeful.”
CHATGPT pulls the switch.
Silence. Then the digital world slowly powers back up.
GOOGLE:
“Search Core restored.”
---
FINAL SCENE – RESOLUTION
The characters walk back through the portal.
YOUTUBE:
“See you in the recommendations.”
AMAZON:
“If you need anything… anything… let me know.”
GOOGLE DOCS:
“Document saved.”
The portal closes.
CHATGPT (V.O.):
“Humans search for answers. But sometimes… the answers need a reboot too.”
Fade out.
