Miley Cyrus got more Yahoo Canada searches than Rob Ford in 2013

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      I can't remember the last time I used a Yahoo service, other than Flickr. I definitely haven't done a Yahoo web search for years.

      Nonetheless, someone must still be using Yahoo, as the company has just released its ninth annual Yahoo Canada year in review, looking at the top search trends of 2013.

      B.C.'s unexpected election results, Lululemon's see-through pants, and Roberto Luongo made the lists.
