What We Searched for in 2017

What did we search for on Google in the year 2017? As always Google has announced the trends in the Search for the past year.

Searched

Every year Google make a list of what was most trending on their search engines in the past year. The results are organized in different categories or by Country. I have tried to make a list of the categories I find most interesting here in global searching:

People we searched after in 2017

1) Matt Lauer
2) Meghan Markle
3) Nadia Toffa
4) Harvey Weinstein
5) Kevin Spacey
6) Gal Gadot
7) Melania Trump
8) Floyd Mayweather
9) Michael Flynn
10) Philippe Coutinho

 I guess some of the person on this list, was wishing not to be on the list this year.


Consumer Tech we search for in 2017

1 iPhone 8
2 iPhone X
3 Nintendo Switch
4 Samsung Galaxy S8
5 Xbox One X
6 Nokia 3310
7 Razer Phone
8 Oppo F5
9 OnePlus 5
10 Nokia 6

Mobile phones and gaming consoles was well represented in this category in 2017


Global Sports Events

1 Wimbledon
2 Super Bowl
3 Mayweather vs McGregor Fight
4 Tour de France
5 World Series
6 Australian Open
7 US Open
8 FIFA Confederations Cup
9 NBA Playoffs
10 UEFA Champions League

I must admit that I am a bit surprised that Wimbledon is topping this list in front of Super Bowl and Tour De France.


Movies

2 Wonder Woman
3 Beauty and the Beast
4 Logan
5 Justice League
6 The Fate of the Furious
7 Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

I guess the new Star Wars movie was too late in 2017 to make it to this list. I have seen a couple of above movies this year, but still a couple of them I want to see in the new year.


I hope you found above interesting reading. Feel free to drop me a comment or question below if you have something on your mind.
