I queried a few other words and phrases too, ones that should show
substantial...well, trends...the results were disappointing: none of them
demonstrated anything that a statistician would qualify as discrimination
value - nothing "sticks out" enough of the relatively low peaks and wobbles
to actually show anything except a weak incline, decline or stability.
If it's a straight algorithm simply crunching search request numbers by
date, I'm not even sure what the value is: it only crunches big volume
search requests which by definition are the ones for key words most people
will be familiar with (certainly if they are asking the service a trend
query). Anything of lesser significance doesn't get computed as having
insufficient requests volume to generate a graph...

It is an experimental service.
I think that there is something wrong; because it puts Singapore above the
US.
