Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate advertisement selection using advertising units. An entity that is a sequence of two or more words is referenced. The entity includes substrings comprising a portion of the entity. Search data in association with the entity is compared to corresponding search data in association with the substrings of the entity. Based on the comparison, it is determined that the entity comprises an advertisable unit that functions as a unit for purposes of selecting an advertisement for display. The advertisable unit is used to select an advertisement to be presented to the user.
