The search giant Google summed up the year and said what people worldwide were looking for most often. So, a touching video was published that illustrates the most frequent requests.
“In a year that continued to test many, the world searched “how to heal” more than ever. Whether they’re taking care of mental health, honoring a loved one, or reuniting with family, people are finding ways to come back stronger than before,” says the description of the video.
Among the search trends in the world, Google also named “volunteers in vaccination,” “soul mate,” “how to save,” “climate impact,” and “how to say I love you in sign language.”
