Using "facebook.com" as a search keyword yields a strange result: there is a steady rise until the first days of January 2010 when a sudden drop of ~50% occurs.

Using "facebook.com" as a search keyword yields a strange result: there is a steady rise until the first days of January 2010 when a sudden drop of ~50% occurs. From then on, the curve remains flat.
Any idea of what happened?

- Emore 15y agoA guess: some major browser's search bar started to parse "facebook.com" as a domain rather than a search term?
- pygy_ 15y agoThat was my guess too, but which one?
- redthrowaway 15y agoI'm thinking FF 3.6, which came out January 21st. [1] If you zoom in on 2010, you'll see the drop happens around the end of January.
