”Google Wrapped” Guess What We Searched Most In 2025. Each year, Google publishes its “Year in Search” report, a snapshot of the moments, people, and trends that shaped global curiosity. It highlights the topics that surged in interest, not the most-searched terms overall, giving a clearer picture of what caught the world’s attention across entertainment, culture, the internet, and major news events.
It’s worth remembering that these rankings don’t represent the most common queries. If they did, the list would be dominated by everyday searches like “weather.” Instead, the report focuses on terms that experienced a notable and consistent spike in traffic throughout 2025 compared to 2024.
Leading this year’s list was Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot, which claimed the top spot among trending searches worldwide. It was followed by “India vs England” and “Charlie Kirk.” Notably, Gemini wasn’t the only AI assistant to capture public interest DeepSeek also broke into the list, ranking seventh overall.
In the news category, Google says Charlie Kirk dominated trending searches, with “Charlie Kirk assassination” becoming the year’s most rapidly rising news query. “Iran” and “US Government Shutdown” took the second and third positions.
When it came to food, the internet’s appetite leaned toward bold flavours: hot honey claimed the No. 1 spot for recipes, while Marry Me Chicken and chimichurri secured the next two positions.
The top trending movie search was “Anora,” followed by “Superman” and the “Minecraft Movie.” And for actors, “Anora” led Mikey Madison ranked first. Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” star Lewis Pullman followed, with Isabela Merced featured in “Superman” in third place.
In sports, “FIFA Club World Cup” topped the trending list, ahead of “Asia Cup” and the “ICC Champions Trophy.” Paris Saint-Germain F.C. led searches among sports teams, with S.L. Benfica and the Toronto Blue Jays close behind.
For podcasts, “The Charlie Kirk Show” led the rankings, with Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” and “This Is Gavin Newsom” claiming the second and third spots.
In books, Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You earned the top trending position. Rebecca Yarros’ Onyx Storm followed, with Navessa Allen’s Lights Out rounding out the top three.
