The late Liam Payne, an English singer and songwriter who died on October 16, was the most searched, followed by  Greek actress Anna Panagiotopoulou, Greek singer-songwriter, poet, and composer Charis Kostopoulos, footballer George Baldock, and French actor Alain Delon.

Greeks also used Google search to find out when Tsiknopempti occurs (traditional meat eating day before Lent), when the clocks change for daylight saving, when Ascension Day is, when schools reopen, and when the results of the Panhellenic Exams are announced.
