What were the most searched words on Google in the U.S, the U.K and the world in 2025

Google has just presented its 2025 Search Recap, a compilation of the trends that have shaped the year, becoming the most searched topics on the web. The data from United Kingdom reflects significant informational activity, highlighting interest in global phenomena as well as creative solutions for everyday life, and the same happens in the US.

Likewise, due to the new AI features in Google (AI Overviews and AI Mode), the way we search has changed and has become more conversational. For this reason, many of the top queries in 2025 are based on questions such as “how to…,” “which is better…,” or “what does … mean.”
