In using the tool over the last couple days, I've noticed that the tool is no longer distinguishing between singular and plural words. Words that are NEVER used in the plural suddenly show as super high just because the singular is a popular, real word. For example:
mesotheliomas 165,000 shows the same as..
mesothelioma 165,000
and...
hockeys 823,000 is apparently just as good as
hockey 823,000
same goes for keyword phrases.. for example:
domain names
domain name
domains names
domains name
are all equal and super popular showing 246,000 Exact Match, when we all know that is certainly NOT the case. I don't see how this is a good thing as it is completely inaccurate! It gives a poor indication of how keywords and phrases are actually used and searched for and even allows for made up words to show just as popular as the real thing. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Is it a temporary issue or is this a permanent change?
