Google reveals full Year in Search 2021 list – did you look any of these up?

GOOGLE has revealed its Year In Search 2021 – a look back at the top searches over the past 12 months.

It reveals a deep insight into the minds of Brits, who relentlessly asked about Squid Game, Matt Hancock and whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit.

Google handles billions of web searches every day, many from humble Blighty.

The biggest search trend of the year was the Euros – which saw England lose out to Italy on penalties for continental glory.

Telly also dominated searches, with Squid Game topping out the list for TV, while sci-fi blockbuster Dune heading the movies roster.

Brits also searched for banana bread recipes, nail art and sea shanty memes to help pass the time while the UK passed in and out of lockdowns.

Matt Hancock was a huge search term, after The Sun’s explosive exclusive revealed his secret affair with an aide.

And unsurprisingly, Covid and lockdown themed searches were trickled through various lists.

Sport was generally high on the overall search list, taking up five of the top spots with Euros, Premier League, Christian Eriksen, Emma Raducanu, and England vs Denmark.

In the All Questions category, “Is Facebook down?” and “Is WhatsApp down?” topped the list – likely due to the mammoth 7-hour global outage in early October.

Plenty of US politicians crept their way into UK search lists, including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi.

And Adele’s Easy On Me was only trumped for lyric searches by Lady Gaga’s classic hit Poker Face.

Here are the full lists for the Google Year in Search UK…
