Default Question on Market Samurai - Returning Searches = -1

Hello all...

I've started using Market samurai and I like the data it pulls back. However, today perhaps I went over the top and ran too many queries. Now when I run them, it comes back with:

Searches (Broad): -1
Searches (Phrase): -1
Searches (Exact): -1

...

Adwords Traffic: Hundreds to tens of thousands

Could I be hitting a glitch? A temporary ban? Anyone ever see this?

I'll tell you exactly I think. Take advantage of anything I get right and ignore anything I get wrong.

It's because the term you searched for is so disgusting that everybody is taking their searches back.. This should result in 0 results.. But.. The Death took one to..

Nice.

Actually, let me correct myself.

What they're showing in the program is: - and not: -1

When i export to Excel (CSV), it shows -1

But the point is it shouldn't be -1 or just the -
These are high traffic keywords

Market Samurai released an update that removed the bug of results with insufficient search showing a blank rather than 0. This screwed up your filtering. They chose to use (-) which just means insufficient searches. You can check this by going to the Google Keyword Tool and using the same settings (location etc) you should get the same result.
