Every December, Google’s Year in Search becomes more than just a list — it’s a reflection of our lives. What we search for reveals what we care about, what excites us, and what we dream of. In 2025, the trends were diverse: cricket, artificial intelligence, food, travel, books, and global affairs. Let’s dive into the highlights.
Google Year in Search 2025: India’s Top Picks
India’s searches were dominated by two passions: IPL and Gemini AI.
IPL 2025 proved once again that cricket is not just a sport but an emotion. Fans searched for match schedules, scores, and highlights, keeping the league at the top of the charts.
Gemini AI, Google’s advanced artificial intelligence, became the second big obsession. Indians are now as eager for AI updates as they are for cricket scores, showing how technology has become part of everyday life.
Food Trends 2025: Recipes That Went Viral
Globally, food searches told a story of comfort and creativity.
Marry Me Chicken became a symbol of love and indulgence.
Hot Honey Recipes added spice and sweetness to kitchens everywhere.
Chia Pudding reflected the growing demand for healthy, homemade options.
Food searches remind us that cooking is about more than taste — it’s about emotions, family, and joy.
Winter Travel Dreams: Indians Choose Japan
When it came to travel, Japan was the top winter destination for Indians. Snow-covered streets, dazzling lights, and cultural festivals made Japan feel like a living postcard. For many, visiting Japan wasn’t just about tourism — it was about experiencing a dream.
