Wikipedia:Likely and unlikely search terms

On Wikipedia, we use the phrases "likely" and "unlikely" search terms to describe whether or not the average Wikipedia user would search for an article or page with a particularweb query. A likely search term is a search term that someone would likely type in the search bar to find an article, such as the user looking for Jesus with Jesus Christ. "Jesus Christ" is a redirect to Jesus, so it is considered a "likely search term". The opposite is true with an unlikely search term.

The terms are usually used in RfD discussions and talk page discussions about hatnotes.
