What Did We Search on Google in 2020?

Surprise! COVID-19 is not the top trending highlight on Google Search. Instead, it is the 2020 US Elections that tops the Trending Searches in Singapore. Korean drama and movies are the top searches too.

Before showing the results, I need to explain what is Google’s Year in Search. Here is the official one from Google.

What is Google’s Year in Search?

Google reveals the internet “Year in Search” through an exploration of the over one trillion search queries we receive each year. In addition to the Year in Search, which highlights the top trends of 2019, we also have several tools that give insight into global, regional, past and present search trends. Google Year in Search tools can never be used to identify individual users because we rely on anonymized, aggregated counts of how often certain search queries occur over time. These tools are available year-round for you to play with, explore, and learn from: google.com.sg/trends.

Check out this Google’s Year in Search 2020 video.

Now you know what is YIS, let’s see if you have guessed correctly the different categories of YIS.
