Royal Wedding top of Google Search List

15th December 2011

The Royal Wedding has been revealed to be the top google search of 2011, according to the reports of Google's annual Zeitgeist.

It seems that even after the hype and publicity earlier this year, people still can't forget the wedding and are looking up the details and photographs online.

Also near the top of the list were the iPhone 5, Fifa, and Groupon.

Top searches in the UK were Facebook and YouTube, quickly followed by the top of the 'What is' category, which reveals, strangely, that people are confused by scampi, truffles and piles. The most searched for 'what is' term of 2011 was the AV, the Alternative Vote, which seems to have confused people the most. 

Some interesting results can be found under the 'How to...' category, with top searches including Revise, Snog, Sleep, Flirt, and, for some reason, Shuffle.
