Following the release of its YouTube Rewind 2019 earlier this week, Google on Wednesday published its ‘Year in Search 2019’ video montage along with detailed lists of all the trends, people and events that were ‘Googled’ by netizens this year. According to the company, searches for heroes — both superheroes and everyday heroes — soared around the world in 2019. “In fact, ‘hero’ was searched three times more than ‘villain’ globally this year”, said the company in an official blog post.

The top-trending searches include the usual suspects, including sporting events like the ICC Cricket World Cup, popular tech gadgets like the iPhone 11, the final season of Game of Thrones and the blockbuster Marvel movie, Avengers: Endgame.
