Google has released its new Google Trends data for 2020, showing the world what Americans were searching for in the US -- as well as what was the most-searched globally in 2020.
The results reveal that the US election results and coronavirus were the two most-searched for things in not just the US, but globally -- meanwhile the PlayStation 5 was the most-searched for when it comes to 'Where to buy' -- beating out 'where to buy toilet paper' and 'where to buy face masks'.
The fourth highest 'where to buy' search was for the Xbox Series X, while the fifth highest was hand sanitizer. So we're looking at wiping your butt, buying a face mask or hand sanitizer mixed in with next-gen consoles for the most-searched 'where to buy' in Google Trends.
