No GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES in v201206

[Kevin Nguyen]

Hi,

I posted a message on the forum (
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!search/global_monthly_search/adwords-api/D75_pfZsjyM/MzfnG_fIhe4J)
 awhile
back regarding to this issue.  I did get a response from David Torres, and
here is his message:

> The new SEARCH_VOLUME is equivalent to GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES when no

However, this is only true if we want to get search volume for EXACT match
keywords, and there are no way that I could find to get search volume for
keywords with other match types such as BROAD match.  Given that our system
depends on getting search volume for BROAD match keywords, this migration
becomes nontrivial.  Are there any plan to add this feature back?

I included soap requests and responses for v201109 and v201206.
