On your second paragraph, notice its "relative searches" which it then explains in the subheading. Not top searches.
If debauchery like "hand-holding" got 0.5% of searches in one state while in other states it got 0.1% of searches, and there wasnt as much a difference for other terms, thats the top relative search.
But it doesnt tell us anything about how many people actually searched for it.
I understood it as the one with the highest percentage in that state at first. What you said makes a lot more sense and is a bit of a relief.
Im guessing the map wouldnt get much attention for top searches, those would probably be very normal things, so they went for this method :)
