Covered more than searched

covered more than it is searched — 2nd of 11 by story count, but 11th by search interest. Outlets are talking about this; people are not looking it up yet.

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.
