Trends isn't the best for this as it's search results not occurrences so really all this will show is the number of people confused by the term for weird contractions like this. "AFAIUI" could theoretically just be completely understood by the community using it.

Number of search results:

AFAIK: 8,600,000 AFAICT: 346,000 AFAIUI: 14,600

Should have made it more clear that I meant that in the general case not in this particular. I've never seen AFAIUI.

Oh, I understood what you meant, I was just providing an additional data point for this particular conversation in response to what you were saying re: search queries vs. results.
