The top five events of the year were Boston Marathon, Typhoon Haiyan, Government Shutdown, 2014 FIFA World Cup and Chinese New Year. The top 5 global most trending Google+ hashtags this year were #Boston, #BreakingBad, #TyphoonHaiyan, #MileyCryus, and #Pope.

Report by country offers a more detailed insight into what people searched for on Google, locally. The multiple categories for trending searches and top charts of searches range from donations, news sources and “what is…” enquiries to famous internet animals, recipes and how-tos. For instance, in the US the most trending guidance enquiry was “how to tie a tie,” and in the UK it was “how to make pancakes,” and in Australia it was “how to draw.” The number of categories depends on the country.
