<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi Lightmind,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You're right with your guess - &#34;sun power&#34;, &#34;solar generators&#34;, &#34;home solar power&#34;, &#34;solar power information&#34;, &#34;transendental meditation&#34;, &#34;learn to meditate&#34; - these are all examples of &#60;strong&#62;broad match&#60;/strong&#62;. Note that &#34;power solar&#34; and &#34;techniques meditation&#34; are &#60;u&#62;also&#60;/u&#62; examples of broad match.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Phrase match&#60;/strong&#62; means the words are in the same order - &#34;solar power&#34;, &#34;meditation techniques&#34; - but they could include words on either end; &#34;&#60;u&#62;solar power&#60;/u&#62; information&#34;, &#34;portable &#60;u&#62;solar power&#60;/u&#62;&#34;, &#34;commerical &#60;u&#62;solar power&#60;/u&#62;&#34;, &#34;buddhist &#60;u&#62;meditation techniques&#60;/u&#62;&#34;, &#34;vipassana &#60;u&#62;meditation techniques&#60;/u&#62;&#34;, etc.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Exact match&#60;/strong&#62;, as you know, is traffic for the lone keywords only - without rearrangement, modification or any additions.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You'll need to study the data as you see fit - old versions of Market Samurai used &#60;strong&#62;broad match&#60;/strong&#62; (to answer your question) - and indeed it's from there that you might want to look at the general market for niches.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But when you get into actually selecting and analysing particular niches, you may want to drop down to &#60;strong&#62;phrase&#60;/strong&#62; or &#60;strong&#62;exact match&#60;/strong&#62; to see how much traffic you might expect for particular keywords or keyword combinations.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There's no written documentation yet - we're leaving that for when we're much closer to releasing the &#34;final&#34; version of Market Samurai (i.e. when it's stopped changing so much! :-))&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope this helps! It's a good question to ask on a forum - if anyone else has any questions about the three match modes, they'll see &#34;Broad, phrase, exact&#34; and learn from our collective knowledge and curiosity. :-)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Cheers,&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi.&#60;br /&#62;
Which of the three - broad, phrase, exact - was the one used in the older version of MS? I need to get some work done.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank you.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks, Arlen.  I read the blog and it clearly explains how to use the feature. It does not define the three types or the difference in the data they generate..  It may be obvious to pros but not yet to me.  Would you define &#34;broad match&#34; and &#34;phrase match&#34; for me. Or give me some examples of each - with the KW &#34;solar power&#34; for example or &#34;meditation techniques&#34;?  What would be a broad match and a phrase match be for those two Keywords.&#60;br /&#62;
??Broad match = sun power and meditation formulas?  Phrase match = Power solar and technique meditation??  Thanks in advance,  There is a lot of data and information generated by MS and I want to understand the fundamental distinctions.&#60;br /&#62;
I understand &#34;exact match&#34;.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So as I do a Keyword generation for a particular product, select the best ones  and create pre-sell pages using my selected keywords........ how would the three sorting criteria differ or what would be the difference in the data they output?  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;......If this  is too involved a question for this forum, is there written documentation that comes with MS?  I have watched all and learned much from  the tutorial videos but they do not include the broad-phrase-exact distinction.  I end up with three times the data and do not yet understand the difference between the three... or which is most appropriate to use.  (I have been using Mike Filsaime' system to learn about affiliate marketing.  He uses and highly recommends MS.  But his beta version did not use the 3 tier distinctions.&#60;br /&#62;
All in fun

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey guys.&#60;br /&#62;
Great work.  I am new at this and would like an exact definition of broad search, phrase search and exact search.  (also  how those three words apply to the other analysis categories in MS).  I found posts that discussed the terms but they assumed knowledge I don't have.  Thanks for the help
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
