Google top search trends 2018: From Black Panther to bitcoin to Stormy Daniels

Google has revealed what people in the UK have been searching for in 2018, with the publication of its annual'Year in Search' results. Meghan Markle, who topped the list last year, was knocked off her perch by the World Cup but still managed to be the second-most searched term in 2018. Her marriage to Prince Harry, together with the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, helped'Royal Wedding' reach third on the overall list. Several other celebrities like Stormy Daniels and Ant McPartlin also appeared on the lists, which covered a wide range of categories including top trending'How to...?' and'What is...?' queries. Privacy scandals helped'How to delete Facebook?' become one of the most-asked questions using Google, while the dramatic rise and fall in cryptocurrency prices helped drive searches for'What is bitcoin?'.
