The Buzz Index 

The Yahoo! Buzz Index counts the total number of people searching for specific subjects. The actual number represents the percentage of searches times 1000. In other words, each point is equal to 0.001% of users searching on a given day. For example, a buzz score of 200 for "NFL" translates to 0.2% of all users searching on Yahoo!
