Google has revealed that “Euro 2016” was its UK search engine’s top trending term of the year.
The football championship was followed by the game Pokemon Go, the late singer David Bowie and US President-elect Donald Trump in its rankings.
Google’s list is based on words and phrases that stand out from the norm to get round the fact that an unfiltered version would be little changed from one year to the next.
The top global term was Pokemon Go.
Perhaps surprisingly, the death of Prince ensured the singer was more “googled” by UK users than either Brexit or EU referendum – the two phrases are grouped together in the firm’s rankings.
