    <p>I like to keep an eye on trending browsers/OSs/languages etc... I find google trends is a very useful resource <em>sometimes</em> but other times I can not get the information I want.</p> <p>Example of very clear increase of Ubuntu (with 6 monthly peaks near release dates) compared with other major linux distros ecline over the years...</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+debian%2C+redhat%2C+mandrake&amp;ctab=0&amp;geo=all&amp;date=all&amp;sort=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+debian%2C+redhat%2C+mandrake&amp;ctab=0&amp;geo=all&amp;date=all&amp;sort=0</a> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8no37.png" alt="graph data from google trends showing ubuntu, radhat, mandrake and debian"></p> <p>Example of results that are skewed because of non-programming related events. See "flash floods" and "earthquake in Java" in the news results</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/trends?q=flash%2C+java%2C+javascript&amp;ctab=0&amp;geo=all&amp;date=all&amp;sort=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.google.com/trends?q=flash%2C+java%2C+javascript&amp;ctab=0&amp;geo=all&amp;date=all&amp;sort=0</a> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tNPqz.png" alt="graph data from google trends showing flash, java and javascript"></p> <p>Is there a way to filter the results better to only include Java the programming language, and make sure that it catches all variations of a name - for example js instead of javascript, or an alternative tool that can produce similar graphical trend data.</p>

    2. COLike said by @Bas have a look at Tiobe... And just to say, your first graph absolutely doesn't show a decline of other distros in general, only the relative decrease of search volume to Ubuntu. ie more people search for Ubuntu than for Debian, but maybe there's much more search for debian in 2011 than in 2006. This can be explained for example by the fact that Ubuntu is for newcomers and Debian more server oriented, but says nothing about the user base size.

    3. CO@krtek I agree that there can be no concrete conclusions drawn, but it is worth noting that there is a decline in searches for Debian, that the graph is not showing relative, but absolute search volume

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
