GSC Question Finder
Use cases
Filters GSC queries using two regex strategies: a strict pattern matching 50+ question indicators (who, what, when, where, why, how, installing, cost, vs, regulations) and a loose pattern for auxiliary verbs (can, could, will, would, do, does, did).
Deduplicates entries keeping the highest-impression variant and removes punctuation while preserving word boundaries.
