"The historic 2014 Lok Sabha elections emerged as India's first digital election and revealed that an online presence mattered considerably for all political parties."
The term 'Elections 2014' topped Google India's trending lists in 2014, followed by FIFA 2014, iPhone 6, GATE 2015 and IPL 2014.

Besides elections, the death of Sunanda Pushkar and the unsolved mystery of Malaysia Airlines 370 also generated search curiosity. Cricketer Virat Kohli stood tenth in this list of 'personalities across categories', ahead of Sachin Tendulkar, who remained among the top searched for sports personalities despite his retirement.
