But that number has no way of inspecting it to know what it actually means. Is it including prefix searches? Suffix? Whole word only? Possible misspellings?

I get that it can be somewhat directional, but I question that anyone is getting meaningful data out of it. :(
- mewpmewp2 4y agoYou can in some cases compare different keywords to each other.

- hunter2_ 4y agoYou've just opened a can of worms. It raises a very interesting question: when asking something like > if I want to know the most commonly used spelling between two options do those mirrors count as "use" of the word? Or does "use" refer only to the original writer? If a neologism is written once and read by millions, it carries more weight than one read by only a few people. Perhaps the same goes for spelling variants: the more people see it, the more people agree it's the typical spelling. Lots of mirroring could be a decent proxy for lots of readership.
