Nov. 30, 2009— -- So what did the world search for online this year?
It's still November, but Microsoft's search engine Bing has already unveiled its list of the top 10 search topics of 2009. Google and Yahoo reveal their own lists Tuesday.
While we wait, here is Bing's list of the top trending topics of 2009:
10) Jaycee Dugard: In 1991, 11-year-old Dugard was kidnapped near her family's home in California. This summer, after 18 years in captivity, she made national news when she was reunited with her family.
9) Billy Mays: The television pitchman died in June of heart disease.
8) Jon and Kate Gosselin: The ongoing television saga of Jon and Kate Gosselin (and their eight children) went on almost all year.
7) Cash for Clunkers: The federal government's popular car incentive plan drew crowds to dealerships across the country and, apparently, the Internet too.
