Hello I'd like to know how can I find out how many times a word is searched for on google. Is there a tool for doing that? thanks
I think you can not find the numbers specifc to Google. but you can find the numbers for average of some search engines or specific to other search engines (e.g. yahoo). Check the following resources: http://www.webmaster-index.org/search-engine-optimization/
I think the keyword suggestion tool will do what you want http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/
