Yandex.WordStat Match Types— (the ‘minus’ operator). This operator is used in order to exclude certain words from appearing in keyword suggestions. When applied, a space should be put before the operator. For example, if you type computer –repair in the keyword field, the results you receive will only include all keywords containing the word ‘computer’ and exclude any appearance of the word ‘repair’.
+ (operator ‘plus’). This operator is used to forcefully include prepositions in keywords. Yandex.Wordstat ignores stop-words, such as prepositions, but sometimes prepositions can influence search volumes. For example, the total number of impressions for products for cars will be the same as for car products.If the preposition for is crucial to your search, then you should enter the following: products +for cars.All forms of this Stop-word will be included in the search.
For example, there are two prepositions that can be used in Russian in a key phrase tickets to London:
