Is it possible to include the option to view the graph on a log scale?
It would make it easier to compare trends of terms that don't have the
same volume. For example, there maybe a trend between "flowers" and
"tulips", but since tulips is a term that is rarely searched it
appears as a straight line at the bottom of the graph where "flowers"
demonstrates periodicity. The option to view the search volume on a
log scale may allow for the ability to compare the two. Thanks!

The logarithmic scale is a nice idea, but probably just as useful yet
far easier to implement would be to simply allow users to index the
graphs. Via a radio button users could choose to see as-is or indexed
to 100 at the beginning of the time horizon. This is especially useful
when two graphs in different order of magnitudes, but a user would
still want to compare patterns.
