Make Exact-Close varient script error

[jamess...@gmail.com]

I have used many scripts, but on a copy basis but not very knowledgeable.I am getting an error with this new script that I want to email me the close variant search terms so I can decide if they need to be negatives.

Error: ReferenceError: hasWordInCommon is not defined at main (Code:157:9) at Object.<anonymous> (adsapp_compiled:20513:54)

Any advice showing me how to problem solve this would be appreciated.

if you are referring to this script (https://searchengineland.com/when-exact-match-isnt-exact-anymore-a-script-to-regain-control-307975) , please note that  hasWordInCommon  is a reference to a function that is defined at a lower position in the code (line 316). Most probably you didn't copy-paste all of the code into your script?

Hope this helps,
