Introduction: This manuscript analyses the use and evolution, through Google Trends as a source of information, of internet-based information-seeking behaviour related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic using the terms: Coronavirus, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 from January 1, 2020 to April 15, 2020. Methods: A generalized linear model was used to analyse the relation between SARS-CoV-2 data epidemiology and the Search Volume Index of the terms obtained from the Google Trends query. Significant trend changes were assessed by Joinpoint methodology. Results: A total of 7,873 SARS-CoV-2 confirmed cases were collected with an increase of 4.7% in the selected period. A relation was found between the confirmed cases (dependent variable) and the Search Volume Index of the Coronavirus term, with a correlation rho = 0.79 (p <0.000). Conclusion: The analysis of search engine query data in order to create mathematical models that forecast disease spread could be useful and helpful to activate and improve strategic plan to control an outbreak
