In this digital, data-driven age, few things gauge a person’s interests more than a Google search. With that in mind, Google has announced its annual “Year in Search” lists, which analyze the most top-trending, highest-traffic queries across news, politics, film, entertainment, sports, and more throughout 2018.

Civic duty was a major theme in 2018. In the U.S., the top searched “how to” question was “how to register to vote,” according to the Google blog.

In a year that bid farewell to myriad cultural icons, people searched “how to be a good role model.” When first responders and local Navy SEALs rescued a team of soccer players from a cave in Thailand, the world was inspired — searches for “scuba diving lessons near me” increased by 110 percent that week.

So what did Austinites search most in 2018? Google’s answers reveal an interest in sports, movies, and celebs who’ve passed away this year. A chance to win big money got a more than a few looks, too.

Here are the top 10 searches for Austin in 2018.
