As 2014 comes closer to it’s end Yahoo has published their Top 10 searches for the year. These lists are always a great way to look back at the major events during the year that really struck the interest of internet users amongst the world. How exactly does Yahoo compile this list? The company states , “to develop the Yahoo Year In Review, our editors analyze Yahoo Search queries based on a number of factors, including volume and growth from previous periods, to see which themes and trends bubble to the surface. Individuals and their search queries always remain anonymous“.
Below are the overall top 10 search results from Yahoo for this year:
- Ebola
- Minecraft
- Ariana Grande
- Jennifer Lawrence
- Kaley Cuoco
- Kim Kardashian
- Frozen (Disney movie)
- Miley Cyrus
- iPhone 6
- Jennifer Aniston
