Yes, it has a terrible habit of putting non-phrased searches in alphabetical order, leaving you to try and work out the original word pattern used.

Beware it's not an American term also if regging a co.uk i.e. auto loans ranks highly in overture but no-one English would search for that?

Overture have 18 different international OV tools, so if you use the UK tool you'll get UK results....

I'm not sure about so called "overture ratings" any more. Very popular keyword searches are massively overstated, yet less popular nice keyphases are hugely understated (and there are billions of combinations). You need to look for the "long tail" I think its called.

Overture is'nt that bad, the figures can, as with any of the alternatives (Keyword estimation tools!), vary.

The data would be more accurate if more people used yahoo, when was the last time you yahoo'd something? You don't you Google it!

The argument (well-substantiated by data from Google Zeitgeist etc., showing that people tend to search a lot for, say, xyz.com) is that people have gotten so used to the Google search-bar that they use it as a kind of secondary URL bar.
