Can you believe it’s May already? They say time flies when you’re working on new features and bug fixes… Here’s a rundown of what’s made our time fly over the past couple weeks:

Feature improvements

• A little housekeeping in the Keywords tab
  You’ll notice that we removed the Total Search Results column in the Keywords tab. This column would pull in the number displayed at the top of the SERP when you do a Google search. Google does not provide that number for mobile searches, which means the data in that column was incomplete. And gosh darn it, we don’t stand for incomplete data! In fact, Google itself approximates the number (they preface the results with “about”) so we decided it was time to part ways.

Tracking updates

• Getting your hands on related searches on mobile
  Thanks to our stellar dev Andrew M, we’re now parsing “Related searches” results on mobile devices across multiple ranking positions. Basically, anywhere one of those bad boys appears, we’ll find it and track it.

Bug fixes

• “Tag All Filtered Keywords” now makes more sense
  When you’re tagging keywords in the Keywords tab using the Tag All Filtered Keywords button, you’ll notice that existing dynamic tags have been removed from the Tag Name drop-down. This is because you can’t manually add keywords to an existing dynamic tag — they update themselves based on your filter logic — so it doesn’t make sense for them to be there. Of course, you can still create new dynamic tags using this method.
• Deleting all keywords in a tag is easy-breezy
  Though we wouldn’t recommend deleting keywords (see pro-tip below), if you need to, you’ll be pleased to know that Victoria found and exterminated a bug that would occasionally cause an error to occur when right-clicking a tag and selecting Delete All Tagged Keywords.
• And you can now select and delete big ol’ chunks of keywords 
  Speaking of deleting, MJ fixed a bug so you can now select multiple keywords in the Keywords tab and just right-click to remove them from your arsenal.

PRO-TIP: You can turn tracking on/off for keywords, tags, projects, or folders instead of deleting them. That way, you retain all your historical data and if you change your mind later on, you won’t need to re-upload. Read all about it in the knowledge base.

That’s it for now. But hokey doodle, are we ever working on some cool stuff that we can’t wait to tell you about over the coming months. Got questions?
