The area which shows the most popular words in feedback messages should be called something like "Topics" instead of "Trends".

Aakash, what do you say? I agree with Aleksej that Trends is misleading, because we don't actually have any over-time stats in that box. Instead, we show the topics that are the most relevant to the current result set.

Actually, "Trends is correct". The dashboard and Search Results are essentially time based as they will be defaulted around all open pre-released versions of Firefox and then filtered by time. Also, Fred, I'd like to put over-time stats in our boxes in the future once we get more data.

Here's the definition of Trends @ dictionary.com (used as a noun):

"the general course or prevailing tendency"

If this explanation is enough for you guys, I'd like to close this bug as works for me.

Yes, it's fine. I was figuring that this was your idea behind the word, and I agree that the size of the terms does indicate a prevalence, hence a "trend".
