Lookup Failed / Missing results...
... when doing keyword suggestion lookups
July 2008 - Update!
Please note that the Overture Keyword Suggestion tool is now dead and buried. As of now, you will get empty results when you try to use the keyword suggestion tool in Good Keywords.
We will be updating Good Keywords and replacing the keyword suggestion tool in it with a basic version derived from our Keyword Strategy Studio. Expect this to happen before July 10th (2008).
More Information

How do I clear the previous results & base keywords
...from keyword suggestion tool window?
Use the Settings button in the main window and select the appropriate Wipe Cache button.
To clear the drop down boxes (containing the base keywords etc.) in each tool window, simply type
<clear>
(including the angled brackets) and click the Go button.
You may want to clear the cache once in 3-4 months (more often if you use the software a lot and you notice the software becoming slow to startup).
Power Tip
You can also export your entire keyword research data into a CSV file using the Keyword Suggestion Tool > Menu Button > Export Keyword Data (CSV) option. So it is possible to save all the keyword research data in the cache before deleting it. Use Microsoft Excel or any other spread sheet software to open the CSV file.

Missing or Different Search Counts
When using the keyword suggestion tool, the search counts are displayed only if you select one of the Overture based search engines from the Research Using drop down box. The search counts will not be displayed for Yahoo and Ask (Teoma in earlier builds). This is mentioned on the program window (see the screen shot below).
Also, the software supports different Overture keyword selector tools (like Overture US, Overture UK, Overture AU, etc.). So please make sure that you select the required tool from the Research Using drop down box in the software. The search counts will differ based on the Overture tool you selected.

Using the Keyword Organizer
Keyword organizer is used to hold keywords you find interesting or wish to use in your projects. You can add keywords to the Keyword Organizer from the other tool windows (like the Keyword suggestion tool, Misspelled Word tool, etc.). Simply right click within these tool lists and select the Copy To Organizer menu option.
Within Keyword Organizer you can also create different keyword sets for holding your keywords.

I copied the keywords to the clipboard. Now what?
If you have this question, you really should brush up your Microsoft Windows fundamentals ;)
Anyway, the clipboard is not something internal to the Good Keywords software. It is a tool already available in Microsoft Windows to transfer content from one application to another.
Once you copy something to the clipboard, you can paste it into another application by usually selecting the Edit > Paste menu of that application. For example, after you copy keywords from Good keywords, open the Windows notepad and select Edit > Paste from the menu. The keywords you copied to the clipboard will now appear in the Notepad window.
