Google has released its year-end list of the top search terms of 2015, an annual event that is increasingly viewed as a key indicator of what was on people’s minds throughout the year. In 2015, those searches ranged from the April quake in Nepal to the infamous dress, and from the Paris attacks in January and November to the new Star Wars movie coming out Friday.

This is the 15th year Google has released the “Year in Search” report.

Fourth on the worldwide listing was the film Jurassic World, adopted by Paris, “Livid 7”, “Fallout four”, Ronda Rousey, Caitlyn Jenner, and “American Sniper”. It saw a wave of searches in January. Jenner was previously married to Kris Jenner, mother of television personality Kim Kardashian.

MMA fighting champ Ronda Rousey takes the third spot in the list for 2015.
