    100 what? It can’t be percent unless literally everyone everywhere searched for it at once at the peak day.

      100% of maximum interest during selected time period.

      279

      Here’s the graph for “cat” vs “dog” over the last year. Interest in “cat” consistently falls below half the interest in “dog” (i.e. 1 in 3 people are cat people) and “dog” really only hit the 100% interest once.

        So relative to itself? One person could search for “Greg Bovino trapped in an unstoppable ass fucking machine stuck on high” and it would show 100%?

        Neat.

          280

          FWIW there’s also a map showing relative interest per geographic region, so if that was you, well, I know what state you connected to the internet from.

          Edit: the way it indexes things isn’t necessarily by an exact match. The timeline there shows it was probably picking up Greg Bovino and some choice words generally, rather then that specific term.

            lol wasn’t me, but I’m going to assume it was that exact term though 🤣
