Sony's PlayStation 2 console is more popular with surfers than Britney Spears, according to search engine Yahoo.

The black games console emerged top in 2002 in Yahoo's Buzz Index, which rates the popularity of search terms used throughout the year.

The top 10 is dominated by film, music and celebrities, a sign that young people tend to be the most active web searchers.

Experts say the words entered into search engines can help track, and even predict, fads and fashions before they become part of the mainstream.
