Gemini Tops Google's 2025 Global Search Queries Ranking

Google published its annual Year in Search roundup for 2025. The Gemini chatbot took the top spot in the global ranking; another artificial intelligence algorithm, DeepSeek, landed in seventh place. This reflects growing global interest in AI technologies.

Top search leaders

The top three most-searched queries also included the India–England cricket match and the name of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The search related to the assassination attempt on Kirk was the most popular news query of the year. Top topics also included events related to Iran and issues surrounding the US government shutdown.

Culture, food, and ranking methodology

In the food category, the most-searched item was hot honey. Among films, the leader was Anora, and the most-trending actress was Mikey Madison, who outpaced Lewis Pullman and Isabela Merced. Sports queries were dominated by the FIFA Club World Cup and the club Paris Saint-Germain.

Google explains that the ranking reflects not the total number of queries, but the topics with the largest increase in interest compared with the previous year. Therefore everyday queries, such as those about the weather or YouTube, do not make the list.

Separately, the company introduced automatic headline generation for the Discover feed. It was also announced that a Ukrainian large language model is planned to be trained based on Google’s Gemma.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
