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.
