Year in Search is meant to reflect “the spirit of the times”, and Google strives to capture this spirit through exploring the year’s new and exciting search terms. Trending searches are queries that have had the highest spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2015 as compared to 2014.
Google studied an aggregation of trillions of searches (or queries) that people asked Google Search this year. Data was used from multiple sources, including our public tool, Google Trends and internal data tools. Spam and repeat queries were filtered out to build lists that best reflect the spirit of 2015.
