Here's what Texans Googled the most in 2018

We were craving Domino's online ordering, election results, and the latest about Ant-Man and The Wasp, among other top Google searches.

A picture taken on November 20, 2017 shows logos of US multinational technology company Google displayed on computers' screens.

Google on Thursday released its "Year in Search 2018," a compilation of the top trending topics in the U.S. (and other countries) over the past year.

The World Cup and Hurricane Florence were top searches overall, Demi Lovato and Meghan Markle were the most-searched people, and Texas Senate candidates Beto O'Rourke and Ted Cruz were the two of the most-searched politicians.

So it got us thinking: What if we broke down the search data for Texas?

Google Trends gives you that option – it even lets you find search data for particular cities, but we decided to keep this broader. Below is what we found, broken down by a selection of Google Trends' categories.

You can comb through all of the Texas Google data, including more categories, here.

(A quick note about the following data: To keep it more specific to 2018, we pulled the "rising" search queries data, which compares increases from the previous year, not just the overall top searches. So instead of "weather" as the top news topic, we got "Election results 2018.")
