ワード

わーど

noun

word; term; keyword

1. word; term; keyword

A word treated as a unit of search, data, or discussion — a search term, a trending term, a password. It does not replace 言葉(ことば) for "word" in the ordinary sense of vocabulary or speech.

ワードを入力(にゅうりょく)する。

I enter a search word.

この記事(きじ)のキーワードは三(みっ)つある。

This article has three keywords.

同(おな)じワードで検索(けんさく)しても、人(ひと)によって出(で)てくる結果(けっか)が違(ちが)う。

Even searching with the same term, different people get different results.

From English "word". Outside compounds it is largely confined to search, media, and IT contexts; for words as language, Japanese uses 言葉(ことば) or 単語(たんご).
