Summary

We have changed the search feature on each Search Ads screen to be case insensitive to the alphabet.

The filter has changed as follows:

  • The specification of the extraction condition "starts with" has been changed to not case sensitive.
  • The filter offered case-sensitive and non-case-sensitive criteria for the "contains" and "does not contain" conditions, but we changed it only to consider non-case-sensitive.

*The extraction conditions "equals" is case sensitive as before.

This change makes filtering and searching more intuitive and convenient.

Notes

The filter and search features of the following screens are not affected by this change. The alphabets are case sensitive as before.

  • Target list
  • Conversion tracking
  • Branding Search Ads
  • Campaign Management Tool for Search Ads (Shopping)
