Below is a quick guide of how to do a bolean search on Linkedin:
You can run a Boolean search on LinkedIn by combining keywords with operators like AND, NOT, and OR during your search.
- NOT searches: Type the word NOT (capital letters) immediately before a search term to exclude it from your search results. This typically limits your search results. For example, “programmer NOT manager”.
- OR searches: Type the word OR (capital letters) to see results that include one or more items in a list. This typically broadens your search results. For example, “sales OR marketing OR advertising”.
- AND searches: AND searches: Type the word AND (capital letters) to see results that include all items in a list. This typically limits your search results. For example, “accountant AND finance AND CPA”.
- Note: You don’t need to use AND. If your search has two or more terms, you’ll automatically see results that include all of them.
Parenthetical searches – To do a complex search, you can combine terms using parentheses.
For example, to find people who have “VP” in their profiles, but exclude “assistant to VP” or SVPs, type VP NOT (assistant OR SVP).
Examples:
CTO AND (Product OR Owner) NOT (Engineer)
Founder OR VP OR Owner OR CEO
Founder AND Techstars AND marketplace
