Hello, The displaySelect flag is a little confusing right now, but we are actively working on updating our documentation on it to clarify. For now, I will give you a quick overview here.
You can see (and set) what networks a campaign is targeting using the campaign's NetworkSetting<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/CampaignService.NetworkSetting>. If the NetworkSetting has targetSearchNetwork set to true and the other fields set to false, then you are safely targeting the search network only, regardless of the state of the displaySelect flag. So in order to create a "search network only" campaign, you would simply set up the NetworkSetting the same way you always have for such a campaign. The displaySelect flag is true (and cannot be set false) for all new campaigns, as an indicator that *if* that campaign targets display network, *then* it will do so using Search Networks with Display Select rather than the old way. Starting in September, we will migrate all existing display network campaigns to Search Network with Display Select, after which we will remove this flag from the API since it will no longer be necessary. The only time you should interact with the flag via the API is if you want to voluntarily migrate your display campaigns to Search Network with Display Select early, in which case you would set the flag to true.
