So for comparison, D (Programming Language) shows 36 searches in January 
2016 in Google Trends for me, while the webmaster tools show 235 klicks 
on vibed.org for "vibe.d" searches in the same timeframe (12 clicks for 
"dlang"). So the question is what those Google Trend numbers actually 
show, it can't be the total amount of searches.
