Other top searches included 'Johnny Depp' in the people category and the actors category, 'Novak Djokovic' in the athletes category, and 'Ukraine' in the news category.
Google's 2022 list also showed there was high interest in the Oscars moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after the comedian joked about the Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
