Methodology:

To compile this comprehensive list of the most searched people on Google, we employed a rigorous data analysis process:

  1. Keyword Isolation: We segmented our extensive database of over 25 billion keywords to identify individuals who were frequently mentioned.

  2. Relevance Filtering: Using advanced heuristics, we eliminated individuals who had not generated significant search interest in the past month, narrowing down the list to approximately 10,000-20,000 candidates.

  3. Search Volume Analysis: We then analyzed the search volume for each remaining individual using our trusted search volume tool, which is utilized by reputable institutions such as the New York Times and IKEA.

  4. Ranking and Selection: Finally, we ranked the individuals based on their overall search volume to determine the most searched people of the year.

Important Note: When calculating the most searched person for a specific year, we focused on the individual who achieved the highest peak in search volume during any given month within that year. While Donald Trump has consistently maintained a high search volume since 2016, he was not the most searched person in every individual month throughout that period.
