No 18 Is Funny – See The Top 20 Words Searched By Google Users

We’ve all been there – you’re sick and can’t sleep so naturally, you start Googling your symptoms at 3am – only to find out that you’re in fact dying. Anyway, the Google Trends team has created a site dedicated to analyzing the most asked questions globally on the search engine – and some of the most popular ‘how to’ searches are surprising. Google searches that begin with “how to” are on the rise, growing by 140% in the last 13 years and among those searches, it seems fruit flies are a worldwide problem and turns out there’s a lot of people who don’t know how to boil an egg. In comparison to 2016, losing weight was in the top five last year and it’s still Googled a lot now – but people are no longer Googling ‘how to play Pokémon Go’ (so last year, literally) and ‘how to vote for the referendum’ for obvious reasons. Check out the top 20 ‘how to’ searches for 2017 below, and see how many you’ve been guilty of Googling… 1. How to tie a tie 2. How to kiss 3. How to get pregnant 4. How to lose weight 5.
