Google Trends determines the ranking of countries by looking at how often a specific topic is searched against the total number of searches in that country during a certain period. This system makes it possible to compare interest in topics between different countries or regions, also taking into account population size and internet use.
In each region or country, the share of a particular search query is shown as a percentage of the total number of searches there. This information is then used to create a ranking, which sorts countries based on their relative interest in the topic. This means that a smaller country (such as the Netherlands or El Salvador) with an intense interest in a particular topic may rank higher than a larger country with less interest, because the ranking depends on the ratio of searches, not the total number.
