AOL Search announced the year's top searches based on the topics that received the highest volume of online queries on AOLSearch.com, the AOL.com portal and the AOL service during 2005.
"Millions of people search online through AOL Search for a wide spectrum of things, but there are those terms that are looked-up more frequently than others," said Jim Riesenbach, senior vice president of AOL Search and Directional Media. "From news and people that grab attention to popular products and common queries, the most searched for topics online during 2005 are a reflection of what was top of mind or what people wanted to find more information about."
"Lottery" emerged as the most searched word in 2005, followed by "horoscopes" (no. 2) and "tattoos" (no. 3). New search terms that emerged in 2005 include the addictive puzzle "Sudoku", the irregular minting of the new "Wisconsin Quarter" and the global music event "Live 8."
