 ## Analysis of Realistic Search Pattern

 This log demonstrates the reality of searching a sparse corpus:

 1. **High duplicate rate** - The same claims appear in multiple searches
 1. **Topic bleeding** - Searches like “waters” or “illegal” return mostly irrelevant results
 1. **Geographic clustering** - Most claims are UK-focused despite global corpus
 1. **Source concentration** - FullFact.org dominates fishing-related fact-checks
 1. **Temporal gaps** - No 2024 claims; concentration around Brexit events (2016, 2020-2021)
 1. **Entity success** - Country names (Spain, Norway) more successful than generic terms
 1. **Pattern emergence** - Clear claim templates emerge even from limited data
 1. **Dataset availability** - More datasets than factchecks for fishing topics

 The search evolved from broad single words to targeted entity+keyword combinations, ultimately extracting a network of ~22 unique fishing-related claims from ~42 searches - a realistic yield from a sparse global corpus.

	## Analysis of Realistic Search Pattern

	This log demonstrates the reality of searching a sparse corpus:

	1. High duplicate rate - The same claims appear in multiple searches
	1. Topic bleeding - Searches like “waters” or “illegal” return mostly irrelevant results
	1. Geographic clustering - Most claims are UK-focused despite global corpus
	1. Source concentration - FullFact.org dominates fishing-related fact-checks
	1. Temporal gaps - No 2024 claims; concentration around Brexit events (2016, 2020-2021)
	1. Entity success - Country names (Spain, Norway) more successful than generic terms
	1. Pattern emergence - Clear claim templates emerge even from limited data
	1. Dataset availability - More datasets than factchecks for fishing topics

	The search evolved from broad single words to targeted entity+keyword combinations, ultimately extracting a network of ~22 unique fishing-related claims from ~42 searches - a realistic yield from a sparse global corpus.
