Every day, around the world, we search.

People search to find out more, to know more our heroes, explore far-away destinations, or settle a dinner table dispute between friends. And occasionally we just search to find out if eating ‘waakye’ is a good dieting option.

Zeitgeist — German for “spirit of the times” — is Google’s yearly look at the billions of searches performed throughout the year. Google’s Year-End Zeitgeist uses data from multiple sources while filtering out spam and repeat queries, to build fascinating top-ten lists across pop culture, sports, music, politics, news, and more.
