      I'm using the Keyword Difficulty tool.  The results generated are Bing search engine results, even though I have selected Google for the search engine.

      I cannot get this feature to work, and I've tried it in both Chrome and Firefox.

      What's going on here...??

        Hi there,

        The SERPs and other information presented in the Keyword Difficulty tool are going to be for whatever search engine you choose. The only thing that isn't going to be is the Search Volume data. That will always show Bing data because we lost access to Google's API a while back. Instead of leaving this blank, we still wanted to show a snapshot of volume. This has no effect on the score so you're safe there. Hope this helps clear things up!
