Thread:User talk:Yury Katkov/SMW community growth/Searching is not the same as using/reply

Actually, it doesn't even necessarily show a decline. The numbers on the Y-axis are relative, showing that term's popularity as a percentage of overall searches (or really, it's a percentage of a percentage - so that the highest value will show up as "100" - but that's a minor detail). Assuming that the overall number of searches keeps increasing, and I think it is, the number of searches on "semantic mediawiki" could keep increasing but still register as a decline, if it's not increasing as fast as overall internet usage. My guess is that that's the case, actually - the description of the graph should probably be modified to reflect that possibility.
