Eirc,
Here is the code that I am running. Some keywords work fine, others do
not yield any category results. However the same keywords DO yield
category results when examined through the AdWords web UI.
Am I missing a component? Also I have included a
RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter withn the searchParameters array
because the API says that certain search parameters are required and I
did not want to associate the search with any URL specific search
criteria.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tony

Keyword keyword = new Keyword();
keyword.text = keywordText;
keyword.matchType = KeywordMatchType.EXACT;
// Create selector.

selector.ideaType = IdeaType.KEYWORD;
selector.requestedAttributeTypes = new AttributeType[]
{ AttributeType.CRITERION, AttributeType.KEYWORD_CATEGORY };

service).

paging.startIndex = 0;
