The public's fascination with the latest smartphones, tablets and games consoles remained unchanged in 2012, with products from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung topping the list of consumer electronics searched for on Bing.
And three of the top five app searches were music players, including Swedish music streaming service Spotify and US radio favourite Pandora.
Reality star Kim Kardashian was the most searched for person of 2012 on Bing, while controversial on-and-off R&B stars Chris Brown & Rihanna were the most searched for couple.
Bing accounts for 16 per cent of web searches in the US, according to recent figures from ComScore.
Bing does not provide figures for the volume of searches with the lists. Across all categories, the top 10 most searched items of the year on Bing were:
- iPhone 5
- 2012 Elections
- 2012 Olympics
- Hurricane Sandy
- Honey Boo Boo Reality Show
- Gangnam Style Dance
- KONY 2012
