What you're asking is not possible to calculate. First off all, which search engine do you want an estimate for? Google, Yahoo, Altavista?? Next, the number given from Overture's tool is obscured by their match driver. The keyword includes misspellings, plurals and other variations in their count and we have no idea what the true number of searches for that term is so trying to estimate the volume from any other search engine is simply not feasible. You should use that number as a guage compared to other keywords. There is no hard and fast rule to multiple or divide to figure out the total potential on other engines. Lastly, even if you have the #1 spot, there are other factors that determine whether a surfer will click your listing or not.
