- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
It's that time of the year when everybody is looking back on the past 12 months, and Google is doing just that with its 2022 Year in Search report.
The tech company on Dec. 7 released the list that highlights the top trending searches on Google in the United States over the last year.
Americans took to the search engine to learn about high-profile pop culture stories (like the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial) and celebrity deaths (including Betty White, Bob Saget, Queen Elizabeth II and Anne Heche). Google users were also eager to hear about product shortages, Roe v. Wade, gas prices and COVID-19.
In addition to its top 10 most-searched items, Google also released top searches in 8 specific categories, like athletes and TV shows. Check out the full lists below!
