Its really obnoxious that Google doesn't provide any units at all for the vertical axis
I think someone said they used to
They provide one on the left (0, 25, 50, 75, 100)
What those units mean I have no clue, but I'm guessing 100 means 100% and is the highest amount of views, which they then base the rest on (5% of the highest recorded views, etc)
no, it means 100 people searched it.
This is exactly how the scaling works, and why it's pretty useless without another search to compare it to
That's just an ol' wives tale man, no way
