"Millions of people search online through AOL Search for a wide spectrum of things, but there are those terms that are looked-up more frequently than others. From news and people that grab attention to popular products and common queries, the most searched for topics online during 2005 are a reflection of what was top of mind or what people wanted to find more information about," says Jim Riesenbach, senior vice president of AOL Search and Directional Media. |
