Britney Spears was the most searched for term on the Yahoo internet search engine this year.
Despite not releasing any new material in the past 12 months Britney, 24, is still in the news thanks to her pregnancy and marriage to Kevin Federline. Yahoo's annual Buzz Index revealed entertainment and celebrity are the key elements of the net.
However, as many of the searches were carried out by people in the US, some of the names and events may seem a bit baffling to us.
MARIAH Carey returned with a vengeance, while Britney Spears remained as popular as ever thanks to her marriage and new baby Sean Preston.
Looking beyond pop culture, Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami dominated news searches, while Apple's iPod drew a lot of interest too.

FEMALE celebrities dominated making up eight of the Top 10.
Only rappers 50 Cent and Eminem made the list. The rest of the line-up was made up of singers including Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lopez.
But Paris Hilton, famous for not doing very much, also gained a mention.

WHEN it comes to popular products searched across the Web, it's hard to top the iPod.

Other gadgets worth noting included the XBox 360 and Sony PSP - both consoles scored well and are poised for huge sales.
