(I have long search queries with pluses and minuses as well as words using characters from outside of English language, Russian, German, Norwegian and French words, for example. Numbers come out quite different. I previously used Python and was getting identical results).\r\nRegards,\r\nBarbara"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/PMassicotte/gtrendsR/issues/comments/201754878","html_url":"https://github.com/PMassicotte/gtrendsR/issues/87#issuecomment-201754878","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/PMassicotte/gtrendsR/issues/87","id":201754878,"user":{"login":"ucb","id":3501157,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3501157?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb","html_url":"https://github.com/ucb","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ucb/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-26T10:44:55Z","updated_at":"2016-03-26T10:44:55Z","body":"Is it something that is publicly available?"}}
