Counting every mention, coverage of Spotlight Search is steady — it appears in 47 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Spotlight Search coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
47 articles mention Spotlight Search across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 5 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.
