As the year gears up to its end in a few weeks, Google India announced the 2017 Year in Search Results - basically recapping the top searches and trends that were Googled in India. Google Search Results offer an immense insight as to what millions of people, spread over a region, are searching for. Of course, in India, cricket and Bollywood take the cake.

The keywords that made it to the top-ten search query list in 2017 were Dangal, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and Live Cricket Score.
