Top Trending Searches Unveiled From Google

The 2016 US presidential election may have generated strong interest around the world, but neither it nor its participants cracked the top 5 trending searches in the US, says Google in its year in review. Instead, January’s $1.5 billion Powerball was the top trending search in the US, also cracking the top 5 globally.

Seven of the top 10 search trends from the US also appeared on the list of top trending search terms globally. The only three top trending topics from the US that were not on the global list were Hurricane Matthew (#3), Election (#9) and Hillary Clinton (#10), replaced by iPhone 7 (#2 on the global list), Deadpool (#7) and Suicide Squad (#10).

In terms of global news, the US election and the Olympics were the top trending topics globally, followed by Brexit, the Orlando shooting, and the Zika virus.
