"Yahoo has released its annual \"Year in Review\" report, a dive into the top searches and search trends on the world's second largest search engine.\nThe report, released every year by the Internet giant, determines what queries topped user interest based on search volume and search growth to figure out what was hot in 2010.  \nLast year, Michael Jackson and Twilight topped Yahoo's search rankings, while Megan Fox was the queen of Yahoo mobile searches.  This year though, Michael Jackson and Megan Fox didn't even make their respective lists.  Replacing them instead were searches for the BP oil spill and, on mobile, the NFL.\nThe top 10 searches on Yahoo in 2010 include six celebrities (Miley Cyrus clocks in at number three), one gadget (the iPhone at number six), one TV show (American Idol at number nine, one sporting event (the World Cup at number two) and one manmade disaster (the BP oil spill at number one).\nMobile searches shared five of the same top 10, but also included the NFL (#1), Rihanna (#3), Sanda Bullock (#4), the NBA (#5) and the Winter Olympics (#9).\nThere were a lot of other interesting tidbits of information that we gleaned from Yahoo's massive array of top searches.  For example, \"how to tie a tie\" tops the list of most searched questions on Yahoo (beating \"how to kiss\" at number and \"what's the world's only immortal animal\" at number five).  Oh, and Yahoo users are searching for the lyrics to Justin Bieber's \"Baby\" more than any other song in the world.\nIn fact, there's so much search data in this year's list that the company commissioned JESS3 to create a nice infographic to summarize the company's findings.  In case that doesn't satisfy you though, we've also included the full list of top searches in an embedded document below.  Let us know if any piece of Yahoo's report surprises you in the comments below.\n(By the way, if you were wondering about the answer to \"what's the world's only immortal animal,\" it's the turritopsis nutricula.)\nInfographic\nClick on the image for a full-sized version\n\n\n\n\nYahoo's Year in Review 2010\n\n\n\t\t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
