Dogpile Releases Most and Least Searched Terms of 2006

Another day and another year-end list of popular search terms. This time from Dogpile.

The Infospace/Dogpile folks also provide a few lists that show the LEAST popular terms of the year. To make a "least popular" list a word or phrase had to be searched a minimum of 50 times, but no more than 100.

Lists include:

1. Ecards
2. MySpace (directional search)
3. Music lyrics

Top 10 Retailers of 2006
1. Walmart
2. Home Depot
3. Amazon.com

1. Visa gift cards
2. American Express gift cards
3. Mastercard gift cards

Least Searched Questions of 2006
1. What is a snood?
2. What do snails eat?
3. How many gold medals did the U.S. women win in the Olympics?

Least Searched Cities of 2006
1. New Hope, PA
2. Montauk, NY
3. Columbia, MO

As you might expect Dogpile notes in the news release:

Any adult content terms have been filtered out of results and category lists above have been compiled from Dogpile.com by InfoSpace personnel.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
