PAUL WALKER, the star of the Fast & Furious movies who was killed in a car crash in California last month, was the most searched-for person on Google this year, the search engine giant says.

The company's Zeitgeist report, which details the UK's search habits during 2013, reveals that Walker's shocking death also made him the most searched for subject this year. The actor's name was typed into more devices than the iPhone 5S and the royal baby, which were ranked at two and three respectively.
