Google is the most used search engine across the world. Every year, the search giant releases its “Year in Search” list both globally, and according to countries, telling us what people searched for the most throughout the year. According to this year’s list, the Indian Premier League and CoWIN were the most-searched things in 2021 in India. The search queries in India for 2021 reflect upon how badly the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country this year. The overall searches, however, hinted at a keen interest in sports within the country. The overall top five searches include IPL, CoWIN, ICC T20 World Cup, Euro 2020 and Tokyo Olympics.
Among queries like Near Me, How to, and What is, there was a dominance of COVID-19 related queries such as What is black fungus, COVID-19 vaccine near me, oxygen cylinder near me and more. In terms of personalities, Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra was the most-searched person in 2021, followed by Aryan Khan. Elon Musk also made it to the top-five most searched personalities in India. Let us look at all the top-five terms Indians searched on Google in 2021:
