The most popular search term in the world in 2018 is "World Cup". The FIFA competition is only held every four years, and this year's host is Russia, and France brings the World Cup trophy home.
In the news category, "World Cup" is also the hottest search term, but the other search terms in the top ten are mostly related to extreme weather events and politics. Hurricane Florence, which landed in North Carolina in September 2018, made headlines due to the overflow of septic tanks and the introduction of more extreme weather.
The term "election results" ranks fifth among the popular search terms in the world in news. Zimbabwe , Pakistan , Malaysia , India and other countries all held major elections in 2018. The U.S. midterm elections have also had a global impact.
