# Negative keywords from n-gram search terms

Adalysis will alert you to potential negative keywords from your[ n-gram](https://docs.adalysis.com/manage/search-terms/search-term-tools#n-gram-analysis) search term data. You'll see the alerts on your **Audit alerts** screen, with separate notifications for Search and Shopping campaigns.

### **View potential negative keywords**

{% hint style="success" %}
By default, the alert based on zero conversions and more than 150 clicks in the last 90 days. However, you can edit these thresholds under **Audit > Audit settings** > **Prebuilt** > **Search terms.**
{% endhint %}

### **Add search terms as negative keywords**

To add an n-gram search term as a negative keyword, select it and click **Add as negative keyword**. You can also add n-gram search terms in bulk by selecting them all at once.&#x20;

You can modify the keyword text and other parameters before creating your new negatives. For Search campaigns, Adalysis will flag any potential conflicts with your existing (positive/regular) keywords.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.adalysis.com/tools/audit/prebuilt-alert-list/search-terms/negative-keywords-from-n-gram-search-terms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
