i still haven't done my homework, and checked the actual data, but:

I believe that you are not concerned about trends here at all ("there 
has been a steep decline of people searching in vain for 'shel' in the 
past 3 years"), but about current stats.

otoh, *I* am really interested in trend data for now ("how fast do 
people adopt to new versions of Pd?" "do I need to provide Pd64 packages?")

I do not really see how the search frequency can be turned into trends 
(yes, google can do that; but that doesn't scale down).

that's of course the other thing: I would like the statistics to be 
collected automatically.
i *do not* want to manually filter out package names. (apart from that: 
how do we determine what a package name is? "zexy" and "else" obviously 
are. but what about "gge", "tlse"?).

i might produce a one-off list of search terms and send it to the 
mailinglist, though.
maybe somebody can convince me that they got any "actually useful" 
insights from that :-)
