Coverage vs search

Searched more than covered

searched more than it is covered — 2nd of 11 tracked signals by search interest, but only 8th by story count. More people are looking this up than there is reporting on it.

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.
