As we continue to rely on the internet more and more for information, entertainment, and communication, it's no surprise that Google remains one of the most popular websites in the world. With billions of searches conducted every day, Google is a treasure trove of data on what people are interested in and what they want to know. So what was the most searched term on Google in the last 12 months? Let's dive into the data.

First, it's important to note that Google doesn't release a comprehensive list of the most searched terms for a given year. However, there are various tools and resources that allow us to gather insights into what people are searching for. One of these tools is Google Trends, which shows the popularity of search terms over time.

According to Google Trends, the most searched term on Google in the last 12 months (as of the time of writing) is "COVID-19". This is not surprising, given the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the world over the past year. People have been searching for information on the virus, its symptoms, prevention measures, and vaccine availability.

In fact, the search term "COVID-19" has been consistently popular on Google since early 2020. The graph on Google Trends shows a significant spike in searches for the term in March 2020, which coincides with the beginning of the pandemic. Since then, the search term has remained popular, with occasional spikes in searches related to new developments, such as the emergence of new variants of the virus.

Other related terms that have been popular on Google in the last 12 months include "coronavirus", "COVID vaccine", "COVID symptoms", and "COVID test". These terms are all related to the pandemic and show that people are still searching for information and guidance on how to stay safe and healthy.

Apart from COVID-19 related searches, there were other search terms that also gained a lot of traction over the last 12 months. One such term was "election results", which was popular in the lead-up to the 2020 United States presidential election. People were searching for information on the candidates, their policies, and how to vote.

Similarly, the search term "Black Lives Matter" was also popular in the last 12 months. This reflects the widespread protests and discussions around racial justice and police brutality that took place in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in May 2020.

Other popular search terms in the last 12 months include "TikTok", "Zoom", and "Joe Biden". These terms reflect the impact of social media, remote work, and political events on our lives over the past year.
