Google has released the top 10 searches of 2014. Topping the list is Robin Williams’ tragic death in August.

Others that made it to the list include record-breaking Disney hit Frozen, Austrian Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

However, it’s worth noting that this list is different to the actual ‘most searched’ list which contains terms like search engines such as ‘Google’ or ‘weather’ – Google concocted this one as it’s a tad more interesting.

Ebola virus, which already killed thousands of people mostly in Africa, completed the top 5. Malaysia Airlines also made it to the list after one of its planes disappeared in March.
