What were kids most interested in and curious about in 2009? Their online searches can tell parents a lot and also alert them to possible topics they may need to discuss with their kids. Norton from Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) has identified the top searches conducted by kids this year through data from OnlineFamily.Norton, the free family safety service that helps protect kids online and fosters dialogue between parents and children about their online activities.


Norton looked at the top 100 searches conducted by kids age 18 and under and also broke down results by age and gender. While terms parents would expect their kids to look up, like the blockbuster hit “New Moon” for teens and tweens, and Sesame Street for kids seven and under, made the list, some of the top terms may surprise parents.


Team Jacob Beats Out Team Edward
The recent blockbuster hit “New Moon,” based on the Twilight series of books, not surprisingly made kids’ top 100 list of search terms. However, Team Jacob took the lead with the actor Taylor Lautner coming in at #80 and actor Robert Pattinson not even appearing in the top 100.
