Input the word or upto three words separated by coma in the box on the top, and then look at the numbers of the second column of the three-column table. The table after translation look like (using the word 同义词):

Time Users Media
Today 220 16
This Week 198 ↑ +13% 9 ↓ -47%
This Month 173 ↓ -3% 14 ↑ +7%
This Quarter 195 ↓ -5% 15 ↑ +17%

The curve is also useful, but sometimes, on my computer there are some errors. In such case, trust the numbers above.

Hope it helps.

Great tool, thanks!
