It seems that someone sequentially ran up to around 131k (at the moment), I can't get any lower new number. Also please restore the input when a database error occurs...

Oddly, “7070” seems to always return a Database Error for me. Other numbers work fine.

Some of the most searched numbers are surprising. Why are 8487798767697884826576, 119104105114108, or even 3551 so high up the list?

All of us use the same keyboards more or less, maybe us randomly typing a large number is not as random as we would like to think. Just like how “asdf”, “xcyb” are common strings because these keys are together, there has to be some pattern here as well.

Especially for those very large numbers in the top ten (like 166884362531608099236779 with 6779 searches), and the relatively small number of "votes" (probably less than a million), I think the only likely explanation for their rank is ballot-stuffing.

10^10000 - 1 is the largest allowed number.
