Napoleon, good things in small packages.

France’s former Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte is second only to Jesus in terms of importance in history, according to rankings based on a new software programme. Napoleon was deemed more significant than the likes of the Prophet Mohammed and Hitler
Val says  - I suppose it depends which historical biography you read to know if he was good or not, he certainly made his mark  At this point Malc always says but he was a tyrannical dictator wanting peace, hah, a piece of France, Italy, Spain etc. 
Malc also makes the point that it was a survey in France.
The Google search results in the news category did not overly surprise Le Monde showing that the Royal Baby was most searched, ahead of Mandela, Mali. The showing of the new pope was only 5th, but as the newspaper ironises, he did come ahead of Frigide Barjot!

"Alors que le changement de pape reste un événement rare, le patronyme « François » ne fait partie ni du top 10 des requêtes toutes catégories confondues ni du hit-parade des personnalités. Tout juste le mot « pape » apparaît-il à la cinquième position dans la catégorie actualités derrière le « Royal Baby » –, entendez bien sûr celui de Kate et William –, Nelson Mandela, le Mali ou encore... Florence Cassez, libérée de sa prison mexicaine en janvier. Le pape arrive miraculeusement devant Frigide Barjot."
