A lot happened in 2018. Some nice and some not so nice. And Google just gave us a touching recap. With their Year In Search 2018 video. A look at the year that was and what we ‘googled’ the most.
There were a lot of searches on wildfires, midterms, border and dissent. But the common theme running in all our searches was – GOOD. The company revealed that “We searched for good news of championships, medal counts and royal weddings, and sought out bright spots throughout the year. We also searched for how to be a good citizen, how to be a good friend, and how to be a good dancer.” Isn’t that wonderful?
Take a look
Netizens felt all warm and fuzzy when Google CEO, Sundar Pichai shared this video on Twitter. Many even said that it was better than YouTube Rewind 2018.

"The world is full of people doing the best they can…." What a lovely video full of so much good in the world this year… A reminder that hate can never win in the end… Must watch #YearInSearch #goodintheworld https://t.co/aHzVYGVq0i
