“Somebody shit in my pants.”
Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”
The article claims “in droves” then doesn’t give a number, or even an estimate.
Yeah, because google is vague.
Not sure what “100” means, but that’s what it peaked at.
That is a percentage score. So you take the highest level of searches and it will always be 100% and all lesser scores are in comparison to that score of 100(%). If you can find out what the actual number of searches are for that one score, you can derive the approximate number of searches in the other places. It shows an informational tool tip on desktop.
Well that’s less than entirely helpful.
Thank you very much for the explanation!
100 means that’s when the searches hit their most popular peak while 0 means nothing was really searched. Google trends does not show actual search volumes.
Google Trends looks at search terms compared with all searches done (in a specific geographic region and time point). That data is then normalized.
It’s essentially looking at popularity trends of is this hot or not.

Edit: here are specifics about what I mentioned above if you’re curious.
It could have been droves… it also could have been 10 people. It also doesn’t say which way they wanted to change their vote. It could all be LIV’s who learned something they didn’t know after voting early or it could have been people torn about their vote panicking and seeing if they could change their mind.
This doesn’t tell you anything but people searched it and not how many.
“How to unsink the Titanic”
Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit… this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!
Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren’t so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him
