longtail

Obscure search terms

Longtail describes things characterized by many small, low-frequency items rather than a few dominant ones.

In business and statistics, the long tail refers to the large number of niche products or search terms that individually sell little but collectively rival bestsellers: They profit from longtail keywords that bigger competitors ignore.

A longtail boat is a Thai vessel with a car engine mounted on a long propeller shaft extending from the stern.
