Google’s top searches for 2015 have been revealed, and topping the list of ‘trending searches’ is online streaming service Netflix.

Also in the highest-searched top ten were the Rugby World Cup at number 2, mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey at number 4, and the Paris terrorist attacks at number 8.

Other subjects that proved popular in the past 12 months include Australian American footballer Jarryd Hayne, dinosaur movie sequel Jurassic World, actor Charlie Sheen who recently came out as HIV-positive, transgender icon Caitlyn Jenner, the Mick Fanning Shark Attack and, kookily enough, Thermomix recipes for pancakes.  Antonino Tati
