Else, I was frustrated with what I knew already and/or had been told by the experts (doctors, pharma mamufacturers, etc.). ie; chronic back pain with no relief.

But it’s possible I’m looking for the causes of back pain to either avoid it or possibly cause it to effect someone else. ie; What might make a co-workers back ache. How to avoid that in the future or how to convince someone we really need new desks and chairs.

I have suffered from back pain and have looked it up. What I wanted to learn is:
1 - more about it,
2 - how to cure it
3 - who can help me take care of it via traditional and non-traditional methods.

Usually it takes multiple searches to get all the information that I want and not all through the same search engine/source.

I think that “back pain” is not that of an ambiguous term so i think the person (lets call him Joe) seeks a doctor to relieve him of his pain, a description about back pain symptoms, seeking others that have that (same) problem or maybe medicine for the pain.

Also people tend to broaden their search if the first result set doesn’t meet their needs. So if Joe seeks an exercise for some relief of his back pain he clearly won’t find it with “back pain” so maybe he searches again for “back pain exercise”.

People are also getting better at using search engines. More than 3 years ago, people where using mostly 1 word for their initial search query. Nowadays 2 words are used more than 1.

ps. Heck for all we know he may be searching for a Norwegian rock band named “back pain”

It is excellent for deep research on specific items. It also unmatched in its ability to serve contextual up to the minute news items. I also use it as a spelling suggestion tool, and that is without getting into the bits that are specific to IDNs, like the on the fly translation tools.

I don’t use Google Trends much. But this is more to do with me not really believing the Overture argument. My search terms are generally two to four words. My domain registrations are mostly one word generics or geographics. There is absolutely no correlation between what I search and what I register.

Maybe I would look for types of remedies to sooth the ache.
