Bel: What makes me say it's making a comeback is that I get 37k hits (English only) on Google,while it doesn't appear in OneLook at all

Because the latter source is very conservative and slow to pick up a word, if you don't find it here, or in only one or two links, then you can surmise it's a neologism



I wouldn't jump to this conclusion at all; I can give you many examples where a word marked obs. rare by OED2 (and not found on OneLook at all) gets many ghits now; i.e., it is making a comeback due almost entirely to web usage.
