The sudden death of young actor Paul Walker, the birth of the Royal baby and the craze for 'twerking' have all made it into the top Google search terms of 2013

Each December Google releases its "Zeitgeist" lists which show the top trending searches in the UK over the previous year. This year Paul Walker was the highest trending search after people turned to Google for more information about the American actor, who starred in The Fast and the Furious, following his death in a car crash on November 30.

Second in the list was “iPhone 5S” after the launch of Apple’s new handset which featured fingerprint security and “Royal baby” because of the buzz surrounding the birth of the future king.

And in a sign of our tough economic times, the government’s Universal Jobmatch website is eighth on the list of trending terms. The second most searched for term beginning with “how to…” was also “how to write a CV”.

"What is twerking?" topped the list of "What is…?" questions. "YOLO", the slang acronym meaning ‘you only live once’, appears third on the list.

In the world of sport, the Grand National topped the list of events, with Wimbledon in second place – despite this year’s historic win in the men’s final by Andy Murray. Tom Daley made a late appearance in the list of top-trending people following his YouTube announcement of a same-sex relationship.

Claudine Beaumont of Google UK said: “Our annual Zeitgeist survey provides a fascinating snapshot of our interests and obsessions for the year. Celebrities always get a lot of interest and the passing of well-known figures makes people want to learn more about them. Despite that, some of the more traditional aspects of British life, from the Grand National to the Royal birth, have generated many Google searches and will be remembered as events that have characterised the year.”
