Not sure what you're talking about? IPFS[1] has 291.000 results, and "Andrew File System"[2] has 46.400 results. My guess is you searched for Andrew File System

  I did indeed not add quotes, I only skimmed through a couple of pages to see if the results are relevant but you can not go beyond 1000 results so I certainly missed the irrelevant results. But that doesn't really change the picture, for me "interplanetary file system" has 5,910 results, "andrew file system" 46,300. The abbreviations IPFS and AFS have 289,000 and 27,700,000 results but both have several meanings and are therefore not representative. If you look at Google Trends, IPFS began rising as a search term in 2011 [1] well before the inception of Interplanetary File System but I failed to quickly figure out what it refers to.

    The curve for "ipfs corporation" shows a similar development since 2011 [0], so that seems like the most likely candidate. I would still attribute most of the growth since 2015 to the InterPlanetaryFileSystem, so maybe a third of the search volume.

    How things grow: people use them. They don't stop using them. IPFS is growing.
