What We Googled The Most In 2018 Will Surprise You

Can you guess?

So 2018 has been an interesting year. We watched true love blossom between Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, the first ever uterus transplant baby was born, and there has been news about Brexit all day every day.

But what has the general public been Googling the most over the past twelve months? Do we care about the fact that we didn't win the World Cup? Are we desperate for Killing Eve 2? Is our obsession with Fortnite healthy?

According to Google Trends, the UK wants to know about Meghan Markle (no surprises there), A Star Is Born and the Spice Girls. Girl power.

But what else did we want to know about?

Let's take a look at the top Google search terms of 2018...
