How we measure

Where these numbers come from

Positions are observed in Apple's public search results for the US storefront.

Popularity is a 0–100 index, mainly from how few letters make Apple suggest the phrase. It is not a search count.

Difficulty reflects the ratings, reviews and title matches of the top 10 results.

Search volume is a wide modeled range, shown only with medium or better confidence.
