Baidu.com is the most popular search engine in China and I feel it is more accurate to use Baidu than Google in Chinese keyword search.

One is that the Language, City and Region category ratings are relative to category total. So, since the overall numbers for Tagalog will be tiny, the high rating for Tagalog relative to Phillipine geographic categories could be as a result of just one rural school district making a point of encouraging Google searches for educational subject purposes. The other is that you will see substantially different patterns for "math". Apparently the relaxed informality of life and language here in Vancouver does not imply a lack of interest in our subject. cheers, Alan Two comments.
