Hi Takeshi,
Thanks for confirming that the description for "Query" is wrong. Can you
please let me know if it is possible to include the longer query strings in
the report and if so, how?
I see that in the reports API the description has been updated to:
"We only show the first 128 char bytes of a query; so two rows with
seemingly identical query strings just indicates that there were some
differences past the 128th byte."
When I was running the report, I observed that the number of rows I got
back in the report results varied drastically if I included or excluded the
"Query" column. Can you possibly update the description to explain why that
might be the case?
Also, can you help with explaining the other discrepancies in total clicks
and impressions that I am seeing between the two reports?
Thanks!
Jonathan
