Lamar Odom and Caitlyn Jenner top Google’s 2015 ‘Year in Search’

Look back at what you looked up.

Lamar Odom and Caitlyn Jenner top Google’s 2015 “Year in Search” report released on Wednesday, which lists the people, places and events that trended the most over the past year.

 

Lamar Odom and Caitlyn Jenner 

People were keeping up with Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Odom. The former NBA player began 2015 mired in a contentious divorce with the reality star before suffering near-fatal brain damage in a November booze and drug binge at a Nevada brothel. He topped the lists for Top Trending General Searches and Top Trending People (Not Including Deaths) globally and in NYC.

But Jenner was hot on his heels in those categories, as well, after becoming a transgender icon in publicly transitioning from Bruce to Caitlyn. This year was a tipping point for the Olympic champion, who revealed her new persona on the cover of Vanity Fair in July and starred in her own E! reality series “I Am Cait.”

The tech giant’s annual report tracks the terms on everyone’s fingertips - from the tragic, such as the Paris terrorist attacks at the Charlie Hebdo offices in January and the coordinated ISIS attacks last month, to the political antics of blowhard billionaire Donald Trump and the blockbuster action movie “Jurassic World” scoring the biggest opening weekend in movie history.

"This is the year of the crossover, and it is also what makes Google data so compelling: You would never put Lamar Odom and Caitlyn Jenner on the same list, or have 'Jurassic Park' next to Donald Trump," said Google data editor Simon Rogers. "We didn't just look for the biggest searches. We wanted to get at the stories and people that rose really fast in search interest. That's what these lists represent: If someone's at the top of a list, it means they rose faster than anyone else in a shorter time."
