Google Search Query Reports - # other unique queries
Is there a way to see these exact queries? Note Googles Answer below.
Thank you for contacting Google AdWords. Please hold a moment while we route your chat to a specialist who will help you with your question: "How can see which words are summarized by number in the search query reports?".
AnnaMarie has received your message and will be right with you.
AnnaMarie: Hello Troy. Thanks for contacting Google AdWords. I’m happy to help you.
AnnaMarie: I’d be happy to help you with your search query report.
AnnaMarie: May I have your account number so that I can pull up your report?
Troy Perkins: 1 sec
AnnaMarie: Thanks Troy.
Troy Perkins: ***********************
AnnaMarie: It will just be a moment while I pull up your account.
AnnaMarie: Which client is it for?
Troy Perkins: I am running search word query reports for ************ client and the top two lines state # of unique words
Troy Perkins: I would like to see these words not have a summarized total.
AnnaMarie: Unfortunately, that is not an option currently.
AnnaMarie: Since only a few people searched on these variations we don’t list them out.
Troy Perkins: what causes the words to be summarized? Is is word count?
AnnaMarie: It’s the number of other unique keywords that were queried.
AnnaMarie: So it isn’t exactly word count.
Troy Perkins: so if there are how many, it begins to summarize?
AnnaMarie: Does that make sense?
AnnaMarie: I see what you’re asking.
Troy Perkins: I was think there might be a work around by setting shorter time reports and doing mutliple reports to see them all. Make sense?
AnnaMarie: We’ve established a threshold so that once a keyword has a specific number of impressions, it’ll be listed individually.
AnnaMarie: No there isn’t a work around right now Troy.
AnnaMarie: But, I will definitely pass on your feedback.
Troy Perkins: One second please
AnnaMarie: Of course.
Troy Perkins: Just to make sure we’re on the same page. There is no way to see what these words are: 58 other unique queries <-field in report
AnnaMarie: Exactly.
AnnaMarie: Are you using Google Analytics?
Troy Perkins: Yes, I am, is this data available there?
AnnaMarie: Actually no there isn’t. I thought it might be.
AnnaMarie: However it turns out that it isn’t!
AnnaMarie: Sorry I got your hopes up!
Troy Perkins: Is there someone that I can talk to or request this change take place?
AnnaMarie: No there isn’t. This report actually only recently became available. So it is an improvement from what we had befo
re!
Troy Perkins: But you will pass it along as a request?
AnnaMarie: Of course Troy. I will let the technical team know. Though I believe this has already been requested.
Troy Perkins: Thank you Anna for your time. Bye Now
AnnaMarie: Again, I really do apologize for the inconvenience. However, the majority of search queries are listed.
AnnaMarie: You’re welcome.

The liveperson chat link is buried in the Adwords console. I noticed you can find it if you search "google adwords live person chat" in google now. should be the first link. What bothers me most is that they don’t give you this keyword information. I’m wondering if its on purpose to keep people bidding on keywords and sending more money to Google. They seem to preying on small business these days - or betting on the little guy to come in and not educate themselves on PPC before executing. Adwords and other PPCs can be complicated and strategies can only be developed by doing indepth research before hand.

Thanks Troy, that helps!
Cannot find it in the Adwords console. Not sure why. I believe that they would be overflowed by enquiries otherwise.
Cheers

Hi,
I am having the same issue with my search query report at the moment - except my ‘other unique queries’ sum to over a third of my monthly spend (which isnt small). Google are telling me that I should look in my weblogs - but surely this will not tell me the term a user searched for, but just the term in my account which was triggered?

No, your server logs will tell you exactly what the user searched for. Look for lines like the following:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=key+term
The “q=” part will be followed by the exact search.

Here it is 7 months later and the report is still useless. why release or tease us if it isn’t going to provide the information we need to make it useful.

Joel,
Here you go!
A letter directly from Google:
Hi Troy,
I wanted to send a separate response for this question in case you want to
forward it to the client or other team members.
As you noticed in the Search Query Report, a number of search queries may
be aggregated in to the ‘N other unique queries’ row instead of being
displayed in the report. These queries are considered outliers - queries
that have a very low search volume. Therefore, though collectively they
may have a high average CTR or number of clicks, each individual query
will provide insufficient data for making adjustments to your keyword
lists.
>From time to time you may see some individual search queries in your
report (such as a search query with only one impression and one click).
The volume requirement for a reported search query is based on traffic
across all accounts — not at the individual account level. Therefore, a
search query with just one impression and one click for your account may
be shown in your report and not included in the ‘N other queries’ row.
Also, due to the high number of potential search queries we adhere to
volume limitations to display only the most significant and meaningful
data for your account. This allows us to manage and process reports
quickly and accurately for all our advertisers. If you’d like to review
every search query that triggered your ad to show and be clicked on, we
suggest reviewing your site’s weblogs.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
