When you don’t know the answer to a question, what do you do?

It seems the easiest solution when stumped is to turn to Google to find the answer to any and all questions. 

The most popular search engine has released the most searched terms in 2018. 

When it came to how-to topics, people wanted to know how to vote. With two elections this year, voters were eager to make sure they knew the proper way to cast their ballot. 

The second how-to topic was also related to voting, as searchers wanted to know how to register to vote. As you can tell from these top two searches, people were taking this year’s elections seriously.

For those looking to lose weight, the keto diet topped the list of searches.

"Fortnite" reigned supreme when it came to searching for GIFs and video games. No surprise there.

While the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” was released in 1975, it topped the list of songs searched, likely due to the release of the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody." Everyone’s favorite catchy tune, “Baby Shark,” came in third.
