I do see the 100 indices for every country, but most of them don’t have an index of 0.

It is the clearest among the indices. Solid gray line

That’s the line that acts as the border for the graph. I’m saying that each country’s data never reaches 0.

Yea, no country reaches 0.

100% is the highest search interest, 0 is zero search interest. Most countries don't have their search interest change by a factor 100.

That isn’t how my interpretation of the index would work. 100 would the highest interest in that country’s history and 0 would be when interest is at its lowest in the country’s history.
Arbitrary example: the U.S.’s lowest interest was when it was searched 2,000 times in a week. The index of 0 would correspond to that value. The U.S.’s highest interest is when it was searched 150,000 times in a week. This would be its 100 index. All other indexes would just correspond to somewhere between 2,000 and 150,000 weekly searches.

You can try to interpret whatever you want, but that's not how Google's charts work.

Ah, that is what you said, and I just ignored it. That makes sense. The range is from no search activity to highest amount of search activity for that country. Thank you.
