Now, the question arises as to why Google Trends has ranked news topics with higher interest rates quite low? Let's understand what Google Trends FAQ says- 

 

Google Trends does filter out some types of searches, such as: Searches made by very few people: Trends only shows data for popular terms, so search terms with low volume appear as "0", Duplicate searches: Trends eliminates repeated searches from the same person over a short period of time. Special characters: Trends filters out queries with apostrophes and other special characters.

 

How is a sample of searches representative?


While only a sample of Google searches are used in Google Trends, this is sufficient because we handle billions of searches per day. Providing access to the entire data set would be too large to process quickly. By sampling data, we can look at a dataset representative of all Google searches, while finding insights that can be processed within minutes of an event happening in the real world.
