2016 most searched for trends

Search is a great way to look back on the year. It was a year for politics the US election and Brexit topped nightly TV news. Everyone probably needed a break from politics as surprisingly the most searched word on Google was Pokemon Go which peaked in July. Thankfully Australia seemed to have proper interests searching for the US election instead. The most searched for item in the US was the powerball lottery which had a record breaking $1.6 billion pool that was split three ways. China had their own interests including the usual house price concerns and the news that couples could have two kids.
