Most popular Google searches for 2015

There is very little left until the end of 2015 - a couple more weeks, and 2016 will begin. Accordingly, many companies summarize their activities by providing a report on the work done. Google has traditionally published a list of the most popular searches for users of its search service.

As it turned out, this year the most popular requests were those related to terrorist attacks, emigration processes and natural disasters.

The most popular requests were related to the terrorist attack in Paris. The number of such requests is more than 897 million. In addition, the query “How can I help Nepal?” (Recall, there was a devastating earthquake that claimed the lives of many tens of thousands of people) and all requests related to migration processes in Europe became very popular.

For example, in Italy it is “How can I adopt an orphan from Syria”. In Germany, "Where are the refugees from?" In the United States, interests are somewhat different. For example, in Texas, residents are interested in what constitutes control of a weapon, and why it is needed at all. More than 160 million requests were made for weapons.

The most talked about man was Bruce Jenner, a former Olympic champion who changed sex, becoming a woman. The number of requests related to his name amounted to more than 344 million.

Naturally, one cannot fail to mention the dress that Geektimes wrote about. Web users searched for dress information more than 73 million times. Moreover, a blue-black dress has become more popular than white-gold.

As for the films, the new part of Star Wars has become super-discussed. The trailer for the film was searched more than 155 million times. The most anticipated music album was "25" from Adele. Inquiries with the name of the singer on Google totaled more than 439 million.
