A search query is the exact word or phrase a user types into a search engine to find information, answers, or solutions. It's what someone literally enters into Google or any other search engine to get results. It reflects the user's intent in that exact moment, whether they’re looking to learn, compare, or take action. From short terms like “weather today” to longer, more specific questions, search queries guide how search engines deliver results.

A search query is what a user actually types into a search engine. A keyword is what marketers target to match those queries.

The keyword a marketer targets could be “noise-canceling headphones.” Search queries are real-world input, while keywords are strategic targets.
