In the first year (Nov. 2001 through Nov. 2002) the site generated about 100 million searches. We reset the counter on Nov. 29, 2004 (with the 2003 data update) and the FSD recorded about 69 million searches through the 2006 update (with calendar 2005 data), which went online Dec. 17.
Earlier today, some six weeks later, we broke 75 million searches--a rate of roughly 140,000 searches per day.
