A spike = someone searched that name that day

What the record shows

Google: noise "most noticeable on queries with low or no search interest ... one-off spikes should not be interpreted as real search activity or evidence of individual searches" [OFFICIAL, Trends FAQ]. Google spokesperson: for very uncommon terms Trends "may appear to show some search interest even if there were no actual searches" [OFFICIAL via ABC, 17 Dec 2025]. Chart is rescaled so its own peak = 100; a single crumb becomes "100" official. *Pass 1 adds:* Raubenheimer: "if the maximum number of searches was ten, it would show up as 100" (The Conversation, 17 Dec 2025) secondary; GNI lesson: "search terms with low volume appear as 0 for a given time period" official. Her own reading of 100 on the collab: "trending number one ... serious interest as in possibly even maybe more than one search" (a1ObeHOaq1k 0:58:47) - she reads a relative peak as a count.

The spikes line up with her meeting days

What the record shows

She searched "hundreds and hundreds" and kept 43; her own sheet shows misses she calls outliers. ~1 in 3 invented names blips somewhere; invented names land on every one of her dates ours. Fact-checkers reproduced name spikes in unrelated countries secondary. Researchers: rare terms show "zero or near-zero values with some isolated big spikes" (Raubenheimer) secondary. *Pass 1 adds:* our 468 cartoon/dead-name runs (tests 9-10): 177 blipped (38%), 24 (5%) somewhere Aug 27-Sep 9, 5 (about 1 in 100) exactly on Aug 28 / Sep 4 / Sep 8 [OURS, big_results.json + big2_results.json]. Her own extra tries: misspellings (collab 1:39:25), title variants, "Let me try other spellings. Let me try other names" (bmjVyIJelZc 0:00:00), window-narrowing (collab 1:38:02) - see Part 9. Caveat: we cannot know her total number of tries, so we cannot prove 38 hits is what chance alone gives; at ~1 in 100 per try it would take a few thousand tries inference. She also chose the three days after looking ("as I narrowed in on these three dates", wmLljWb4bcM 0:29:52).

What the record shows

Trends is a re-drawn sample; researchers find results "can widely change from day to day" and recommend averaging multiple pulls; Google's own researchers say "pull multiple samples and average them" [OFFICIAL/SECONDARY]. Same 119 searches 2 h apart: 42 blips -> 24 gone, 17 moved, 1 same ours. *Pass 1 adds:* (a) Daffy Duck test: 9 cartoon names that blipped on her days at 02:52 PT Oct 4 were re-loaded 17:57-18:00 PT: 7 show "not enough data", 2 moved (Daffy Duck Sep 5 -> gone; Big Bad Wolf Sep 8 -> gone; Count Dracula Aug 27 -> Jul 11 + Jul 25; Sir Isaac Brock Sep 5 -> Aug 26) [OURS, shots_B vs shots_B_repull, PNG + MP4 + _data.json; Daffy and Dracula PNGs checked by eye].

(c) Google FAQ since Oct 2019: "Unlike Google Trends, Autocomplete is subject to Google's removal policies" [OFFICIAL, Wayback: absent 20190921195239, present 20191015212824, 20250124010506 and live 2026-10-04]. (d) Raubenheimer: "Some posts mention how the displayed results seem to change from one view to the next. This is, in fact, exactly what to expect with Google Trends data." secondary. (e) The Transparency Report she showed as proof of removals covers "information from Google products, such as blog posts or YouTube videos" - it never mentions Trends official. (f) Her own words: blips gone "within 24 hours" (collab 2:03:00) = Google's own description of a once-a-day sample ("data is cached each day ... must wait a day to get a new sample", Stephens-Davidowitz & Varian, Google, 2015) [OFFICIAL, 2015 system]; "I know it's going to disappear" (AXTzDnziLLk 2:25:33).

Web Grounding for Enterprise searches "GCP's web index", "doesn't log customer data" official. DoD official described GenAI.mil's web data as "cached, scraped web content" (DefenseScoop 18 Dec 2025) secondary.
