Decade of top searches
Since
2001, Yahoo! has dipped into billions of searches to uncover our audience's
curiosities, interests, and what matters most to them. Unlike editorial
retrospectives or surveys, the rankings come from online users’ own search
behavior. Looking back, these lists truly sketch a society in motion: It's a
unique way to gauge social trends and interests in the year’s top stop stories,
compelling newsmakers, and viral fads.
Take a look back at a dozen years of Top 10s to see how the Web has grown — and
see what
preoccupied readers in 2012.

- Christian Bale Is Barely Recognizable With New Bald ‘Do
Christian Bale debuted a dramatic new 'do on Sunday when he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport from New York with his wife, Sibi Blazic, and their 8-year-old daughter, Emmeline. The 39-year-old actor sported a casual ensemble of green cargo pants, a black button-down shirt, and sunglasses. But it was his bald head and reddish beard that had us doing double takes. Christian's bare-headed look is a serious departure from the super-sexy Bruce Wayne we all know and love! The Hollywood hunk is notorious for dramatically altering his appearance for movie roles, so we have to wonder if his bald 'do is correlated with his most recent role in the David O'Russell-directed drama "American Hustle." "The Dark Knight Rises" actor has been photographed rocking a major make under complete with a bad comb-over while filming the flick in New York. But this recent look isn't the only mega-transformation Bale's undergone for a major movie role.
