Hello,
i've been analyzing a very strainge behaviour of the targetingideaservice.
If i request data for a set of keywords like this:
'news denver',
'media matters',
'israeli news live',
'goldie hawn daughter',
'definition of compassion',
'symptoms of alcohol poisoning',
'russia ukraine news',
'russia and syria news',
'russina and syria',
'the habit burger',
'the human anatomy',
'news',
'odessa ukraine newspaper english',
'ukraine news',
The service return an empty set. So, no data for any of the keywords above.
BUT:
If i remove all the keywords where the term "news" is like:
'ukraine news'
'russia ukraine news',
'russia and syria news',
'israeli news live',
'news denver'
I'm able to take the value of competition, cpc and so on for the remaining keywords.
Another very interesting fact is that a keyword with the only term "news" works, while if the term "news" is in a keyword composed by at least two words, the behavior is the one described.
I actually may accept to not receive any information for keywords with the term "news", but at least to receive the data for the other woul be great.

There are many issues like this. if a single word or multi-word keyword search contains the word 'grief' nothing is returned from the API. Not state or ideas. This is the same when using the keyword planner. I'm finding more and more that other words return inconsistent results.
