"Die Zahlen stellen das Suchinteresse relativ zum Höchstwert im Chart dar. Falls der Höchstwert der Suchanfragen für eine bestimmte Region und einen bestimmten Zeitrahmen bei 10 % für "Pizza" lag, würden wir diesen Prozentwert mit 100 bezeichnen. Diese Angaben spiegeln nicht das absolute Suchvolumen wider. Weitere Informationen"

I can't switch the damn thing to English, but that is what google says. The 100 is a relative value and does not represent the total amount of searches. What this says is that whenever it was searched before it was mostly constant and now it gets searched 10 times a much than normal.

No, that is not what it says.

It says that they have a chart of percentages of searches (It 3 people search for 'pizza' and 20 for 'cake' and 77 for other things, then it would have 3% 'pizza', 20% 'cake', and 77% 'other'").
These trends are normalized by these forementioned numbers.

If we had 3% 'pizza' on that first chard yesterday and 6% today that would be (0.06/0.03) - 1 = 1 or an 100% increase.

In short, it works just like one would expect it.

So if yesterday 100 searched for a keyword and today 200 searched for it in the same timeframe that would be 100% increase.
For the trend to be stable tomorrow 400 would need to seach said word, but if instead only 100 esarched for it we would get a 50% decrease instead (-50%).
