I’ve often wondered if major search engines score searches on “uniqueness” and flag high-scoring queries to review their possible value.

For example, if I have a shower thought for a killer product or service, I’ll search to see if it already exists. It would seem trivial for Google to tag my query for further review, and possibly R&D. What evidence would I have of the original though? Personal browser logs?
