Dumb and dumber: Help with GAWK interface

[sunday silence]

Okay I am sure my questions are getting stupider by the minute. I am having trouble figuring out how to do the "exact match" and/or "phrase" and/or "broad" search on the Google Adwords key word tool

Right now I am in Google Adwords>Tool>keyword tool.

below the window there is an option for "Only show ideas containing my search terms"

Below that is "advanced options" other boxes are for sorting the results.

Jeezus! is there a check box for "exact match" or "broad" or "phrase match"

guy in the other thread said its on the lower right, I dont see it...dammit!

Im sure the answer will turn out to be something stupid.

thanks, this is very frustrating.

Search for something on the keyword tool https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

On the bottom left, there is a "MATCH TYPES" with three checkboxes below it. Uncheck BROAD and then check EXACT.

FOLLOW UP QUESTION...

(will post in a separate thread if needed)

Okay so I click on exact match, but I left the "only show ideas containing my search terms" blank; and then I checked..

What is the difference if "only show ideas..." is turned off or on? Obviously it changes the results quite a bit. Just as an aside this is so non intuitive, if exact match means only find phrases with those words in it, what the heck does "only show ideas..." mean?

I guess the issue becomes: what does it mean "Ideas?" Are they just shooting ideas out here off the top of Google's head? What gives??
