Hi, Thank you for providing detailed information about your concerns. To confirm, the existing KeywordToolService is deprecated and will be sunset on April 22, 2010. The Search-Based Keyword Tool has a different method of calculating search volume, which is why the results may differ ( see http://www.google.com/support/sktool/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114875 ).
The TargetingIdeaService, though based on similar technology, behaves a little differently from the Search-based Keyword Tool. A quick test showed that it returned many results for "cateraar", including the plural form. Please give this service a try and let me know if you have any specific problems.

This gives us a lot of headaches. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
