Hi Tony,
The reason you are not getting "term life insurance" back as a result
is because you are using the NgramGroupsSearchParameter. The keyword
"term life insurance" has enough popular variations to warrant it's
own ngram group:
<entries>
<data>
<key>KEYWORD</key>
<value xsi:type="KeywordAttribute" xmlns:xsi="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Attribute.Type>KeywordAttribute</Attribute.Type>
<value>
<ns2:Criterion.Type>Keyword</ns2:Criterion.Type>
<ns2:text>term life insurance</ns2:text>
<ns2:matchType>BROAD</ns2:matchType>
</value>
</value>
</data>
<data>
<key>NGRAM_GROUP</key>
<value xsi:type="StringAttribute" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/
2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Attribute.Type>StringAttribute</Attribute.Type>
<value>term life insurance</value>
</value>
</data>
