Hi Eric, Dian, I wasn't able to reply to this thread (perhaps because it is from 6 months ago) so I am starting a "new" thread (but I've copied the thread below for improved search engine indexing) http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api/browse_thread/thread/83bcf6265a848ca0/f26624d766b4d62f
I sampled two keywords "f5u409" and "belkin" and based on that limited data set it seems to me that the order is based on the competition attribute. I wanted to describe my use case and perhaps it covers Dian's use case as well and it would be simpler to implement than a full blown sorting parameter input to the service. Could the results always return the input (if it even exists in the result set at all) first? For example, submitting "f5u409" should return "f5u409" first, not "belkin f5u409". likewise submitting "belkin" should return "belkin" first, not "belkin wireless".
