Google – Year in Search 2022
In terms of popular Google searches, Indian Premier League (IPL) took the lead, followed by CoWIN, FIFA World Cup, Asian Cup, ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, e-SHRAM Card, Commonwealth Games, Commonwealth Games and Indian Super League. Overall, we saw people's interest in sports.
This year, people were looking more for sources of entertainment than things related to covid. The "Near Me" questions were topped by (from top to bottom) covid vaccines, swimming pools, water parks, movies, restaurants, malls, subway stations, RT-PCR, polio drops, and apartment buildings.
In the film department, the top spot was taken by Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, and the second position went to KGF: Chapter 2. This was followed by Kashmir Files, RRR, Kantara, Pushpa: The Rise, Vikram, Lal Singh Chaddha, Drishyam 2 and Thor Love and Thunder.
