Kristin Meldahl from the Bing Community Blog posted the top searched keywords in 2009.

Kristin comments “Earlier this month we announced the top trending searched topics on Bing for 2009 (we wish the circumstances for Michael Jackson topping that list were a bit more positive) and we also revealed the top searched celebrity of 09 (Oh…. Perez Hilton you were hot, hot, hot).

We then asked you to go and take our End of Year Facebook quiz to test your I.Q. of hot topics in 2009. How did you do in the quiz? I was batting around .500 this year and so were the majority of you (roughly 40%) and only 7% of you were search Gurus. I didn’t do too well this year but know I can do better next year.

Who would’ve thought that Las Vegas would beat out Hawaii for most searched travel destinations, or that Susan Boyle was searched for more often than Taylor Swift?

We know a majority of you swore the iPhone was the most searched electronic device…well as a matter of fact, you were close, it was the iPod. And over half of you were pulling for New Moon for most searched movie which was actually runner up to the original movie, Twilight. Below is the complete list of the top 2009 searches on Bing.
