You have a larger archive than me :-) I didn't realise the volume was so 
low earlier in the month, nor that the week-on-week average was so 
volatile. The change was made on Wednesday, 23rd October.

Fair enough, then. We can't really tell if it made a difference. One 
thing that is true, though, is that reading the killed searches, there 
are less of the sort (lots of words in the comments, email substrings) 
that the changes were designed to prevent. But I suppose that's obvious.
