Find  

Implemented Gaussian Anomaly Rejection for Autocomplete Terms for Top Trends

In this release implemented Gaussian Anomaly Rejection, if a million search term requests are sent with the same search term, it causes the scale for calculating search terms to be very high for one term and thus the other search terms fall outside the search scale’s range to return top trends search terms.

The anomaly detection detects the number of requests for a search term and if it is higher than the normal then it is considered as outside the calculated normal and adjusts the scale for calculation to accommodate other search terms for calculating top trends.
