Meta-search engine Dogpile.com has compiled its lists of the most popular Internet search terms of 2005. Music lyrics, celebrity names, Internet sites, and gaming terms emerge as the most sought-after information, but some of the runners up aren’t exactly what savvy Internet users might expect. Would you believe poetry, baby names, obituaries, and wedding vows?
Dogpile is a business of InfoSpace, and is a aggregating search engine which combined search results from other widely-used Web search services (including Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, About.com, and others) into a single set of results. Its lists of popular terms are based on Dogpile searches conducted between January 1 and November 30, 2005, excluding adult content terms.
