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.
Your welcome… I liked it when it was Google Zeitgeist and they published hard numbers but since they rebranded and named their video series Google Zeitgeist good luck finding out the actual numbers 🤐
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.
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.
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.
Here are a couple comparisons that maybe give it more relevance:

Well that’s less than entirely helpful.
Thank you very much for the explanation!

Edit: here are specifics about what I mentioned above if you’re curious.
Of course its fucking IOWA
Iowa is just where that term was the most popularly searched. However, it was searched in all states.
I explained Google Trends a bit more here if you’re curious.
But droves though. Droves.

It doesn’t say if it was a metric drove or an imperial drove. Shoddy journalism, if you ask me.
