Every year, Google puts out an end of year video detailing that year in search. 2016 was no different—and yet, it kind of was. Last year was a brutal year filled with tragedy. But when we dove into the data, we found hope. (If you haven't seen the film—you haven't seen the film?—give it a watch.)
My role on this project was to work on the hub for Year In Search 2016, where people could take a deeper dive into the data. We looked for the year's breakout searches: ones that hit an all-time high in search interest. Some were expected. Others....not so much. Explore the data for yourself.
