This morning (Wednesday), for the 22nd year, Google published the search summary lists for 2022 that reveal the most trending topics and people of the past year in a variety of categories.
So how will you remember the past year?
First and foremost thanks to the World Cup taking place in Qatar, which reached first place in the "Ten Hot Searches" list, and managed to make headlines even before it started, far beyond the football games themselves.
In second place - Wordle, the word game that can only be played once a day, which became a global success and even helped decipher the kidnapping of a young American woman.
The return of the Israelis to duty free brought "Green Note" and Skyscanner to the fourth and fifth places respectively.

How do you compile the year lists in the search?
Google compiles the lists by examining the billions of queries we receive each year.
The test uses an algorithm that compares the percentage increase in searches for a specific term over a specified period of time.
In addition to the annual summary that illuminates the prominent trends of 2022, there are several other tools that provide insights into the search in the past and present, in the world and here with us.
We emphasize that these tools cannot be used to identify individual users because they rely on an anonymous and cumulative count of the number of times a certain query was asked over time.
These tools are available all year round and you can play with them, explore and learn from them (click here).
