Interesting. Have you thought about any practical applications for something like this?

for instance you might get what you've been searcing for last decade.

from my side i've searched a lot of song - song lyrics :) it's a good to know understand what you searched. what do you interest in order to understand yourself it's a good point. end of the day google is middle of our lives. isnt it?

Yeah totally, I think that's an interesting thing to know. I guess my underlying question was: how might this be turned into a product?

The knowledge graph API might be a better choice than Trends:

https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/reference/rest...

Example response for [Taylor Swift],

  {
    "@id": "kg:/m/0dl567",
    "name": "Taylor Swift",
    "@type": ["Thing", "Person"],
    // etc.
  }

That's the same "mid" as Trends uses.

It looks like once you entered an invalid project name, the form doesn't accept a valid name. I fixed the issue and updated the app, thanks for reporting the bug. Nice humor BTW! :)
