The point is that if you're searching for "n", "no", "not", "note", "notep", "notepa" and "notepad" because you typed a bit slowly into your start menu, those 7 searches count for nothing by any useful metric, be it either anything a human was interested in, or anything an advertiser is interested it. Google doesn't lose out a search because typing "notepad" into the Start menu never meant a desire to search the internet in the first place. If Bing is counting those as searches they aren't very "real". I say "if" because I don't have any direct knowledge.

The point is that if you're searching for "n", "no", "not", "note", "notep", "notepa" and "notepad" [...] "notepad help" because you typed a bit slowly into your google search field, those 11 searches count for nothing by any useful metric, be it either anything a human was interested in, or anything an advertiser is interested it.

Thank you for repeating my point back at me...? I find myself seriously wondering if you're a bot?

Google doesn't search on every letter you type.
