This market resolves based on the individual ranked #1 in the “People” section of Google’s official Year in Search 2025 – Global list. Google’s report includes multiple sections such as Searches, News, Passings, and People — only the People section applies to this market. If Liam Payne is #1 in “Searches” but Donald Trump is #1 in “People,” the market resolves Yes to Donald Trump. Note: this event is mutually exclusive.

• Update 2025-10-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Google's Year in Search rankings are based on search interest growth ("trending"), not total search volume.

• A person can be searched millions of times every year (like Donald Trump or Taylor Swift) and still not rank #1, because Google is measuring momentum — how much their search interest increased versus the previous year.

• Someone who experiences a sudden global event (e.g., Damar Hamlin in 2023, Johnny Depp in 2022, Alec Baldwin in 2021) can top the list due to a large relative spike, even if their total searches are lower overall.
