Heh, you see the same thing in India for SEO. I bet this is the result
of normalization of term frequencies across markets.
India has a high degree of out-sourcing in web development and seo and
I'm guessing NL has a pretty strong design community. This hypothesis
made a bit more sense for India, where overall consumer usage of the net
is low compared to the US.
There are also some seemingly anomalous downward trends:

USABILITY IS DOOMED by Insight's report with a steady downward trend.
If so, then so is UX, human factors, and HCI.
In this case, one can also look to normalization over total query volume
as the net becomes more diversified across human interests and less
centered on tech.

I was surprised to see my home country (The Netherlands) listed as fourth and
the US not appearing in the Top 10. How should I explain these figures? Are
there relatively many people working in the IxD field in The Netherlands or are
Dutch designers so far behind their peers in the US that they need to search
more for knowledge?
