Just to clarify... This list is a Global list... of everyone in the world, not any specific country.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Fist of all, we still have 18 more days in 2023, so something on this list may change by then.

Anyway, somehow, I was out of the loop with Chandrayaan-3. I haven't heard anything about this to be honest.

I do find it odd that the number one most searched item on the list is about a war that's been happening since 1948. I even wrote a MyTake about it here.

[AviatorTom]

FYI... Chandrayaan-3 was an Indian space mission that successfully soft-landed on the moon, near its south pole, something that hadn't been done before. It was especially news-worthy since the previous try crashed into the moon.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Thanks for this information.

Bad news and disasters make the news and good things rarely make a headline.

[Sparkie460]

That's the way it always is.

[Guido]

They need something to sensationalize.

[Siri137]

Nothing about Donald Trump? Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised for once. I also noticed that the war in Ukraine isn't on the list either. So much for the West "caring" about what ultimately happens over there. I guess it was all just virtue-signalling after all.

[Luopio27]

The war doesn't need to be googled, its in our faces as soon as we see the news paper.

@Luopio27 The newspaper? Do people under the age of 50 still buy those things?

[abc3643]

Yes. They buy digital subscriptions.

[Luopio27]

Whenever I open any of the local news company websites, they all have the sane horror stories readable for free!

[abc3643]

@Luopio27 The major national newspapers and mostly local newspapers are behind paywalls once you use up you free allotment or try to deep dive.

[purplepoppy]

It's worth looking at what different countries search for. Here is the UK's most "how to.. " searches

[butterly248]

I like the Snapchat ai searches lol

[purplepoppy]

Just learned if you tap on a search then hit trends you get a breakdown of which countries looked it up.

[exitseven]

You should have your own TV show

[smne35]

I think it's time we stop everything around the world, COVID was the perfect time for world leaders to come together and talk about the state of the world as a whole and talk about peace, grab those countries leaders at odds with each other sit down and for once after like the adults we thought they were about ending all their differences and let peace have a chance to shine around the world, for once in human history let there be peace, but none of them even propose peace none mention it and they are the ones who started it all not the citizens, people are the ones killing each other for these leaders arrogant behavior, lies they told you every conflict in human history was started by leaders Kings Head of state in short governments not the citizens

[RavVid]

The Russian war didn't make it is my surprise.

The Titanic sub had it all. Billionaires offing themselves. Fuckwittedness on steroids. Mystery as to how it squished up.

My main thought is that US people must do most of the google news searches.

[RoseySarah]

Just tragidy not surprising besides I'd rather see a real list not a list of news searched!

We get lead around enough by tv. I want searches not news most searched!

[rosemilk]

my guess of the list is:

the submarine for sure

the war in ukraine, russia

and the economy/inflation

[genericname85]

without googling myself first, my guess would be: some stupid celebirty drama. this stuff doesn't even reach my radar range anymore, cause i don't consume the media necessary for me to even know about it.

[BCA6010]

The entire year? I'm surprised Ukraine didn't make the list over some of these.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

The Isreali-Palestinian war and the Ukranian-Russian war are among the most popular ones.

[strateguy632]

all related to human death which is an important topic because human life is precious.

[molonski2]

Not really suprising , all about death , war , tragedy , good stuff does not rate to search.

[TonyMetal___86]

They are all negative news, this shows that nothing positive is happening in the world that made a big impact so that the people search about it, it's all negative sadly!

[Dargil]

Anything bad about Trump. Lefties need his name on that wall.

[BadApple69]

I can see people searching about the war in Gaza but who is searching about all these other doom and gloom things?
No wonder the rate of depression is so high…. Just look at the news people are consuming.

[Anonymous]

a lot of hurricane curiosity which is surprising for some reason, and honestly it’s sad that these are all natural disasters or calamity

[SotiCoto]

I can't imagine actually giving a toss about any of that.

[boobliker]

the world is get to loud, we should calm it down

[pickles77]

Looks like a lot of people want that rich people jewelry lol

[FenixG45]

The list seems kind of slanted. I imagine the top 10 in China, Russia and India might differ!

[exitseven]

nothing about Taylor Swift?

[AviatorTom]

She wasn't even in the top-10 musicians...

I'm not sure I believe that.

[bolverk]

Would not know, I rarely use Google to search for anything because their results are biased to a huge degree

[Likes2drive]

Whatever comes up in the news then people search it on google
