Who searches for it, and why
IPL is an ambiguous abbreviation. In the beauty category where it was found, it means intense pulsed light, a broad-spectrum light treatment used for hair removal and for sun spots and redness, at clinics and with at-home handsets from brands such as Philips, Braun and Ulike. Elsewhere it mostly means the Indian Premier League cricket tournament, which dominates the word's searches worldwide. In practice, beauty searchers compare at-home devices with salon sessions and laser. At-home IPL handsets are a growing device category, with room for comparisons, reviews and accessories.
Most people search it to learn about it.
