Ranked by how often a story is about the entity rather than merely mentioning it. Only extracted stories count, so the ranking reflects what has been processed.
covered and searched together — reporting and search volume are high on both counts, so the coverage is not ahead of or behind the looking.

Google Trends returns a 0-100 index relative to the other terms in the same request, so every batch carries a shared anchor term and is rescaled against it. Without that, a term topping a weak batch would outrank a genuinely larger one from a strong batch, and the error would be invisible.
Occurrences, not articles. Each groups every report of one thing, ranked by how many independent newsrooms carried it rather than by article count — fifty aggregators on one wire story is one story.
