All things Kardashian — or Kardashian-related — topped Google's search trends for 2015. The top search term both overall and for people this year was former basketball player and former husband of Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom, who was hospitalized in October after being found unresponsive at a brothel.
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Olympian Bruce Jenner and stepfather to Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, made headlines this year for coming out as transgender on the cover of Vanity Fair; she was subsequently named the second-most searched person and fourth-most searched overall on Google this year. Jenner's daughter, Kylie Jenner, topped the beauty questions searches with queries about how she got her lips so plump, while Kim Kardashian topped "celebrity pregnancies" searches.
