How it works What the Keep Lines Containing Any Word tool does

Keeps only lines that contain at least one word or phrase from a list — pull every keyword about your products or topics at once.

The opposite of Remove Lines Containing Any Of: only lines that contain at least one of your words or phrases are kept. Put the terms in the second box, one per line.

Use it to carve a big keyword export into topics: run it once with your “shoes” terms, copy the result, undo, and run it again with the “boots” terms. Whole-word matching is on by default so “boot” does not match “bootcamp”.

  1. Paste your list into the box above — one item per line, and the second list into its own box. Keyword exports, crawl exports and spreadsheet columns all work.
  2. Check the settings and adjust them to your job — the result updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result and paste it wherever it needs to go. Nothing is uploaded, so client and confidential data stay on your machine.
