Google has released its “Year in Search 2025” report, and one name dominated search bars nationwide and right here in South Florida: Charlie Kirk. The late founder of conservative group Turning Point USA was the most searched term of the entire year, according to Google, with interest surging sharply after his assassination on September 10. Kirk also ranked as the most searched name under “passings,” outpacing major cultural figures including actor Gene Hackman, musician Ozzy Osbourne, celebrity chef Anne Burrell, and actress Diane Keaton.

Beyond personal searches, Kirk’s death became a major national moment online. His assassination ranked as the third most searched news topic of 2025, trailing only the controversial One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the ongoing government shutdown, and surpassing heavily debated topics like tariffs and the No Kings protest.

Google’s annual report highlights the moments that stopped the country mid-scroll, and 2025 delivered no shortage of them. Political upheaval, economic uncertainty, pop culture obsessions, and viral internet moments all collided, shaping what Americans searched and talked about most.

In the “People” category, New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani topped the list, signaling widespread interest in the city’s political shake-up. He was followed by Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Kirk’s killing, as well as rising singer D4vd, whose canceled tour sparked headlines after the body of a 14-year-old girl was discovered inside a Tesla registered in his name.

Also appearing among the most searched individuals were Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, and Pope Leo XIV, whose election drew global attention.
