Adwords Search Tool Driving Me Crazy

[bostonseo]

I manage multiple clients that each have over 10,000 keywords; many of these keywords are three words in length.

When I am searching in my Google Adwords Account it brings up every possible combination of these 3 terms which is really annoying. How about the ability to search just for a specific keyword using quotation marks? Why is this programmed like this; so frustrating. I've requested this be fixed muiltiple times and I know others' have as well.

I imagine that the "to do" pile at Google HQ would be quite high...

On a positive note, the search function works quite fast for me these days, whereas a few months ago it took forever. It is now my prefered means of navigation.

Yeah well since this had been an inconvenience for the last 3 years I don't sympathize with Google's long list of improvements. If the other cpc programs have had a search function that actually pulls the terms you want, Google should be able to 'keep up' if they are the industry leader. Also it's not like Google is hurting for cash; if they truly cared about advertisers' they would hire a ton more programmers and clients would be much happier.

My 2 cents.

When you search an account, you're only searching one account at a time. It seems that you need to seperate out your clients into one account per client, then search will work just fine for you.

I'd like to see the search work from the account manager screen to display info across multiple accounts.

I have different accounts for different clients. It's the same headache for all; if you have 3 word keyword combinations searching is a total nightmare. Surprised more people either do not know what I mean or don't encounter this as well.
