Build a keyword set
Use the Keyword Tool when you need help finding terms for a query.
If you already have a query, you can run a search directly.
Enter seed terms
Open Tools → Keyword Tool. Enter a few clear words or phrases, separated by commas, such as inflation, price pressure. Choose Find similar phrases.
Review suggestions
Where available, choose Read in context beside a suggestion to see example sentences. Use Correct sense or Incorrect sense to record whether the term means what you intend.
Then use the term's Accept or Reject control to keep or discard it. Reviewing a sentence does not accept the term. Rejecting a term suppresses that suggestion; it does not train the model.
If context is unavailable, test candidate terms in a search and inspect their matches.
Save and use your query
Choose Save in the Keyword Tool to download phrases.csv: accepted and rejected terms with sentence-review counts.
Then choose Search corporate text with accepted keywords. This opens the search form with accepted terms joined by OR. Add any missing terms, word forms, or exclusions before running it.
After running the search, inspect the matches to decide whether the query needs changes.
