LARA Bingle, Whitney Houston and Stephanie Rice were among the nation's most Googled people of 2012 - while Prime Minister Julia Gillard's infamous "misogyny'' speech ranked in the top 10 most searched for news events.

The four featured in the search engine's annual trends report for Australia, revealed yesterday.

Bingle was not only the most Googled Australian celebrity, but was the number three top trending celebrity worldwide behind Bee Gees Robin and Barry Gibb - meaning she saw one of the biggest jumps in search activity during the year.

Supermodel Miranda Kerr and The Voice judge Delta Goodrem were the second and third most searched-for local celebrities, while swimmer Rice and hurdler Sally Pearson were the top two most Googled Aussie Olympians. Rice was also the number four most Googled athlete worldwide.

Whitney Houston's death in February saw her become the year's top trending person and the number four top trending topic overall, as well as the most searched for celebrity death for the year.

The shock death of Whitney Houston was the  most searched for celebrity death in 2012.

The tragic September death of Port Adelaide footballer John McCarthy made the 23-year-old one of the top people searches for the year, placing him fourth behind  Houston, Kate Middleton and Morgan Freeman.

More Australians searched for pictures of English boy band One Direction than any other topic this year, with members Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan also ranking on the top 10 images list.

Channel 7's Home and Away was the most searched-for TV show, Bali topped Aussies' most Googled travel destinations and the Sydney Swans' epic AFL grand final win over Hawthorn cemented their position as the most searched for Australian sports team.

And while you may be sick of Gangnam Style now, you weren't in 2012 - the South Korean pop phenomenon was not only the search engine's number one trending song but the top trending topic for the year overall.

The video for the song by rapper Psy has racked up more than 930 million YouTube views since July, and is on track to be the first video to hit one billion views.

Google Australia spokesperson Shane Treeves said the lists reflected Australians' interest in local issues.

"Australians are really interested in local events and news, they're searching for local news events and local people,'' he said.

"They're increasingly looking to make sense of the world around them and looking to Google for that, because it can really help you understand the world as a whole.''

More Australians searched for pictures of teen idols One Direction than any other topic.

Meanwhile the search engine's lists indicate Australians are interested in making their own bread, drink coffee and XXXX beer, and favour Chinese restaurants and Pizza Hut when they are eating out.

They are some of  the culinary conclusions to be drawn from Google's release of it's highest ranked food and drink searches for 2012.

Recipe searches for the year were topped by bread  a search which has doubled in the past five years. Next came a couple of treats, pancakes and chocolate cake, followed by quiche and banana bread.

The most searched drinks all contained some caffeine, with coffee followed by tea, Coca Cola, Red Bull and green tea. Favourite beers were XXXX, Carlton Draught, XXXX Gold, Skinny Blonde and Crown Lager.

Unsurprisingly, Gangnam Style was Google's number one trending song and the top trending topic for the year overall.

For eating out, the top three are old favourites Chinese, Thai and Indian, but Mexican and Korean are gaining in popularity and both make the top 10.

Pizza Hut and McDonald's top the general food and drink searches, a list that also includes Lite n Easy for a bit of balance in the diet.
