20 years of answering our incessant questions
Where would we be without Google?
Well, we'd most likely still be reading maps and encyclopedias... Unable to settle those little stupid arguments with a simple search.
Google has certainly changed the world.
So on it's 20th Birthday, lets take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the things we've been searching for since 2005 (Google begun in 1998, but begun tracking terms in 2005).
Metro.co.uk gathered the top searches from the UK, while we added in Ireland's top searches (2011 on wards).
Year by year, here are some of the top terms we searched for year by year in the UK and Ireland:
