What this video covers

  1. On Candidates, the search box accepts ordinary words and Boolean syntax. Open the help button beside the box.
  2. Every plain word is required. Use AND, OR, NOT, quotes for a phrase, and brackets to group.
  3. Prefixes such as skill:, title:, company:, loc: and email: search that field only. Example: (react OR vue) AND "machine learning" NOT company:"Northwind".
  4. Here is a search that finds people. Type title-colon, then quotes around Sales Manager. Amara Nwosu is the Sales Manager on this list.
  5. OR combines two locations, Lagos or Manchester, and returns both people. The same search applies when you select all matches, or export to CSV.
