INDIANAPOLIS -- A simple, off-script moment from President Obama's address at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night prompted a surge in people searching for 'voter registration' on Google.

When the crowd at the convention began to boo after hearing Donald Trump's name, President Obama responded by saying, "Don't boo. Vote."
