Uncommon use cases

In Yandex.Direct, you can use special symbols and operators to refine a keyword, negative keyword or search query in the keyword statistics service. You can combine operators.

Exact number of words

You may need to match the exact number of words, e.g. 3-word, 4-word, 5-word keywords. You can use this operator to collect keywords with cheaper clicks or check how search volume depends on the keyword length.

To collect keywords with the exact number of words, put quotation marks around a keyword and type it the exact number of times to match in the keyword research results.

For example, you need to collect 5-word keywords that include a word loan. Type loan five times in the quotation marks: "loan loan loan loan loan".

If you collect keywords for a two-word phrase but you want to collect three-word keywords, use the following syntax: french french doors or french doors doors.

Grouping and negative keywords

You may need to band synonyms together. For example, autos and cars.

Also, you may need to exclude keywords that contain specific words. To match these conditions, use the following syntax: buy (car | auto) -mileage.
