Donald Trump and Major Lazer topped Google search trends in Hawke's Bay this year, with memes topping the fastest rising image searches.
United States President-elect Donald Trump was the number one highest rising Google news search in Hawke's Bay in 2016, closely followed by his last name, Trump, at number two. Beaten US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was third, followed by unsuccessful Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and iPhone in fifth.
Rising news searches were not the most searched terms - those belonged to everyday searches including Facebook, YouTube, Google and weather. Rising news searches were terms which increased the most compared to last year.
Hawke's Bay's highest rising YouTube searches were dominated by hit songs. The number one most searched video was Major Lazer's track Cold Water, which features Justin Bieber and Mo, and has more than 530 million views on YouTube.
