What does the Ngram Viewer do?
When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (NeuroNames uses "English" over the selected years (NeuroNames uses 1800-[year of most recent update] in 'case insensitive' mode.
One can hover over the line plot for an ngram, which highlights it. With a left-click on a line plot, one can focus on a particular ngram, graying out the other ngrams in the chart, if any. On subsequent left clicks on other line plots in the chart, multiple ngrams can be focused on. One can double click on any area of the chart to reinstate all the ngrams in the query. One can also specify wildcards in queries, search for inflections, perform case insensitive search, look for particular parts of speech, or add, subtract, and divide ngrams. More on those under Advanced Usage.
