Earlier this month, Yahoo! presented the most popular search queries of the year. Ebola took the top spot in the “Top 10 Searches” category and Jennifer Lawrence took the no. 1 position in the “Top 10 Celebrities” category.

Seems like Yahoo! and Google users have something in common: their passion for Jennifer Lawrence. You see, Google recently published the Year in Search 2014 website. It presents the year’s top trending searches, top trending people, top trending news, and so on.
