   Note that if you're scoped to an engine account and you click the View keywords button, you won't see search terms that matched any product groups in the account.

   In Microsoft Advertising, Yahoo! Japan, and Yahoo! Gemini engine accounts, the report automatically shows the keywords that matched the queries.

What's in the report?

Here are some important columns that appear in the report by default:

• Search query: This is the term a customer searched for.
   
• Keyword: The keyword that matched the search term.
  In a Google Ads account, this column appears only after you click the View keywords button or segment the report by keyword.
   
• Match type: The match type of the keyword in the Keyword column.
   
• Exact keyword exists: Displays the number of exact-match keywords throughout the entire account that match the search terms in the Search query column and indicates how many of those keywords exist at each level in the account. The information in the column depends on the current scope and the segments in the search terms report. Learn more about the Exact keyword exists column.
   
• Exact negative keyword exists (Account): Contains Yes if any campaign or ad group in the engine account contains an exact-match negative keyword for the search query.
  
  In a Google Ads account, the column appears only after you scope to a campaign and ad group level and click the View keywords button or segment the report by keyword.

  Note that the exact-match negative keyword may not be the same keyword that's listed in the Keyword column. For example, the current row may show metrics for an exact match keyword in the current ad group, while some other ad group contains an exact-match negative keyword.

Floodlight conversion data (for example, Actions and Revenue) is not available for the search terms report in Google Ads accounts.
