For now the presentation is purely relative, there are no absolute stats, hopefully that will change in the future. If they would just give the reference of the numbers then we could estimate the figures ourselves.

But no one gave him a clue on how to use it.

First put in a few single word terms or compund term.

If it gets stats then you use that term as a base.

Then you add other terms up to 5 to compare the searches.

If possible to to make 5 point rating chart
5 Domains that rank in Google trends each with different search levels
boston hotel, vacation package, discout clothing, venus beach, etc. (put one term & a comma)

Something that would look like this in the bar

Then as you find domains you want to purchase see how it compares.
Even though it may not be 100% accurate most terms that make it to get stats by themselves are good terms (I said most also use common sense).

If you can't get the dot coms of terms that have stats I high recommend getting native country extension if available.

Or if you are confused on 2 terms to see which is searched more in a country use Google Trends..
More searches doesn't always equal more value but can tell you a bit more info.
