    If David Chase wanted "The Sopranos" to go out in a buzz-worthy fashion, it was mission accomplished. Fans turned to the Search box for answers the final episode didn't provide.

    The abrupt end of the show sparked speculation about Tony Soprano's fate. Searches on "did tony soprano die" and "tony soprano dead" spiked, but those queries will wind up with no definitive conclusion.

    The ambiguous end of the Sopranos story left some fans steaming mad. Buzz on "sopranos sucked," "sopranos finale sucked," and "sopranos ending sucked" sum up the feeling of viewers who wanted something more out of the last ep.

    Spurned fans looking to commiserate sent searches on "sopranos chat," "sopranos message boards," and "sopranos blog" soaring. The flurry of unleashed opinions knocked hbo.com and nj.com offline minutes after the show's end.

    Some final buzzy notes on the finale...

    —Searches spiked on "journey lyrics" and "journey don't stop believing lyrics" thanks to Tony's final song choice.

    —Interest in series creator David Chase peaked after he wrote and directed the final ep. Searches on the man behind the show jumped 458%.

    —The Bada Bing bumped up against the Search box. Fans looking for a final glimpse at the girls sent searches on the adult establishment up 174%.

    —Fans holding out hope for the return of Adrianna spurred searches on Drea de Matteo to jump 124%.
