LinkedIn Gives Search A Promotion By Adding Better Post Results & Richer, Personalized Listings
Whether looking for people, jobs or posts, LinkedIn’s new customized search functionality will help you find ’em faster.
If you happen to be a heavy LinkedIn user, you’ve likely seen a welcomed change in the search function recently. Last week LinkedIn upgraded nearly all facets of its search for a quicker, more informative user experience.
A fuller search experience has arrived for all users as well.. No longer will non-premium users have to guess at last name, all users will now see full names in their search results (a premium-only feature previously). This will also work for keyword searches. No longer will regular members see “LinkedIn Member” next to a user, but instead will see a name next to the face:
Much like Facebook and Twitter, the new LinkedIn search can be filtered for a rich experience. The possible options are:
- All
- People
- Jobs
- Companies
- Groups
- Universities
- Posts
- Inbox
The post results will also be customized based off connections for a true personalized search. The results can be sorted by relevance or recency and are displayed next to the LinkedIn member. Advanced filtering options including posts by users and specific dates are listed on the sidebar for even further filtering.
