Enhanced Advanced Search
Automated Alerts
Auto-Complete
As you type your search term you’ll be prompted with options for what you may be looking for, and the more you search, the better it will get at predicting what you want.
Suggested Searches
Now when you type in a search term such as “product manager” you’ll see example search queries for people or jobs related to product manager as well as a preview of top results to help you find what you’re looking for in one click.
Smarter Query Intent Algorithm
The more you search for content on LinkedIn, the more it learns and understands your intent over time to provide the most relevant results.
Enhanced Advanced Search
Not only has advanced search gotten a new look, it’s also easier to deepen your search with filters like location, company, school and more.
Automated Alerts
Save time by saving your searches and LinkedIn will alert you when the results change.
