It's an impulse thought many have when it comes to finding the answer to something one doesn't know.
As the year draws to a close, Google took a look back on the people, topics, events, and places that trended the most on search in 2018 as part of its 2018 "Year in Search" series.
We looked at the top results for the search, "Where is..." to see what locations people were looking for during the past year. The results were certainly reflective of the news of 2018 - three of the searches regard natural disasters, two involved world events (the Olympics and the World Cup), while others were inquired based on a scandal, company announcement, and school shooting.
Note that these items aren't the "most searched" - they're trending queries that increased the most from 2017 to 2018, according to Google.
