Most Googled in 2012



As a search results aggregator, MySearchResults has to be attuned to the comings and goings of trends in premiere search engines. An annual summary of Google’s most searched topics, also known as the Google Zeitgeist, services everyone’s informational needs. There’s just something for everyone with Internet.

The Google Zeitgeist wasn’t meant to flatter humanity’s choice of gossip, but its readers could be thankful there are equal parts meaty, groundbreaking scientific achievements in it with a slap of starch from Korean rapper Psy and way-over-the-fence insiders on celebrity break-ups.

Are all of these tidbits useful? Yes. Consider weaving Whitney Houston’s death into an ornate metaphor about life’s scale with Felix Baumgartner’s skydiving trespass across the atmosphere’s sound barrier, or the Americans’ collective travails during and after hurricane Sandy. Counter-punch the alienation of existence with the knowledge that Gangnam Style is loathed in unison, but the world has a sense of humor.

Notably, there’s Google having found its arm’s length with politics, as all manner of presidential elections and leadership changes were superseded on the general list by Kate Middleton, the London Olympics, and Diablo 3. Pop sensations One Direction and Selena Gomez ratcheted image searches along with a pregnant Megan Fox. The iPad 3 loomed over all this with a meta-sense of its arrival --- searching for the device that will revolutionize search queries on mobile.

The Zeitgeist cut across 146 languages in its summation. Google’s quicker and more omniscient than ever.
