Too many irrelevant search results? Adding specific keywords to search
requests can greatly narrow-down search results, and can yield emerging
trends.

Since emerging trends per-se receive very little (yet growing)
attention; a reduction in the number of search results on potential
trends are realized.

The key here is to infer "unintended messages" by noting specific
keywords. For example, if an author of content subconsciously mentions
words like 'a growing trend toward', or even the word 'lately'
the reader can infer an author's unintended message which may signal
an emerging trend.

Here is a sample search: The occurrence of words "lately and
noticed" close together. The current month/year is also included in
the search.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...m3&btnG=Search



The wildcard character asterisk "*"is recognized by a search engine
as:

-- Search terms in quotations with the wildcard character "*"
indicates two words NEAR each other e.g., "lately * noticed."

-- In the current (or upcoming) month and year, the wildcard character
"*" represents a specific date. In quotations: "June * 2006"
infers mainly current content. Search results can include older
content.

Words such words he, she, me are excluded. After all, content which may
signal emerging trends usually doesn't contain 'he, she, me.'
Certain pronouns usually indicate personal accounts of individuals;
rather than the "collective conscious" shaping emerging trends.

Overall, the addition of specific keywords, and dates may narrow-down
search-results by about ninety-percent, and yield astounding content.

Further examples:

--Lately and noticed can also be reversed : "noticed * lately"

--(search term(s)) lately.

-- lately (search term(s))

-- lately * (search term(s)).

-- (search term(s)) * lately.


Additional keywords which may infer emerging trends.

--"Growing trend toward"

-- "People * becoming" or "people * become." ("People have
become" or "people are becoming" also apply.)

-- "Lately * become" or "lately * becoming"

-- A sharp increase.

-- "becoming more and more"

--"a growing number"

--"a growing niche"

-- growing interest.

Search-results are very subjective. After all, inference requires
"human inputs" to "separate the wheat from the chaff" as search
engines cannot always yield relevant trend information.

Not bad considering English is obviously not your first language. I
can't make out what your nationality is though. Anyone got a clue?

Simply put; trend-spotting through inference. Isn't inference of
interest to the alt.english.usage newsgroup?

Please consider the interests of other people reading these newsgroups
who want to spot emerging trends; and are not preoccupied with
"nitpicking!"

www.wordspy.com lists and discusses emerging words.

Enough said.

The word 'lately' can be added to a search in a few different ways:

It's very nice that you found out that, being more specific with
keywords gives you more specific results.
It's too bad that you've to use a search angine to find these emerging
trends.
This collective conscience you're speaking of, is also a part of you
and you're a part of it.
Therefore you should have unlimited access to it, all the time, without
using a search engine or refining key phrases.
Just open your eyes for the world, use your common sense , follow the
media very closely or better read all the news there is,
and i am sure you'll find the trends sooner than your search engine
method.
But in any case you have presented a nice method to work with a search
engine.

Yes, I've run into the cl***ic "six blind-men and the elephant
dilemmas" in describing e.g., by splitting (semantic) hairs search
stragegies through inference. I had reposted and edited an update: Of
Note, trend-spotting through inference may even act "as a practice of
sorts" for spotting new trends through intuition i.e., to become
increasingly observant; even before any relevant content is published!
I had also included discussion on "key trends" to watch.

Note about entering date-ranges in search inquiry: Post-date to the
following month without date e.g., "July, 2006." Many trade and
professional publications post-date content by month and year.
