• Verified STR from description
• Confirmed if configured for Japan locale (see me for details if needed), I was able to trigger an ad based on a subset of the new segments for Japan.
• Staging catalog/env was used for testing

Keyword example:

1. Searched on google.co.jp for a keyword from the list
2. Saw the below in the logs as expected:

[17922:775:0715/074216.183600:VERBOSE1:ads_impl.cc(697)] Extracting purchase intent signal from visited URL

3. Saw the below in my client.json file:

  "purchaseIntentSignalHistory": {
    "jp trial 1-search related word": [
      {
        "timestamp_in_seconds": 1594813336,
        "weight": 1
      }
    ]
  },

4. Triggered an ad and saw the below in the logs (note, ad triggers with weight of 1 as expected):
