If there is an upsurge in interest in something, the numbers of people searching it out tend to go up. Hard to count because of various “branded†uses of “upsearch,†but there are clearly dozens of unique hits out there. Examples:
I know in the UK we are having an upsearch in young men committing suicide.

There is an upsearch of nationalism in the south, spearheaded by our VOLKAN, Simerini newspaper, Radio Proto and Sigma TV.

Funny you should say this when there is an upsearch of “tribalism” amongst many people across the planet these days.
