Claude searches jumped 71% in a single day — what's actually driving the spike?
Claude is the biggest breakout mover in search today, up 71.69% in daily volume. I use ChatGPT for most things and keep hearing Claude is better for long documents and code review, but a 71% one-day jump feels like something specific happened. Is this tied to a new feature or release this week, or is it just the general AI news cycle? If you switched recently, what actually pulled you over?

- It's the long-document and coding work, not a single new feature
The spike is cumulative word-of-mouth from developers using it for multi-file code review and long documents, not one single launch. Claude's edge is that it holds a whole codebase or a 50-page brief in context without losing the thread halfway through. Easy test: give both models the same 500-line file and ask for a review — count how many real bugs each one catches versus generic style nits. That is the difference people are actually switching for.
