How To Create A Boolean Search

A Boolean search is a method used to refine search results on platforms like LinkedIn by using specific operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. These operators must be capitalized and can be combined with quotation marks and parentheses to create precise search queries. For example, a search for 'business owner' can be structured to find profiles that include specific roles and industries, showcasing the effectiveness of Boolean logic in narrowing down results.

Lesson 15 - How to create a Boolean

search?
A Boolean search is a type of *code/logic* that tells LinkedIn what to look for.

For example if you want to find a sandwich shop that sells ONLY jelly sandwiches
because you have a peanut disorder you'd search for:

Peanut butter NOT Jelly = this would only show results for Peanut butter but not
Jelly. But it will show results for anything that is NOT jelly. So It might be peanut
butter and mustard. If you don't clarify NOT xyz then there's a chance it will show up

These search commands are known as Operators and they MUST


BE CAPITALIZED

AND = This AND that


OR = This OR that
NOT = This NOT that
Quotation marks " = "This phrase in this order exactly"
(Parentheses) = (Do this first before you do That)

So let's put it all together:

I want to find "business owners" that have (coach OR consultant) AND (health OR
fitness OR nutrition) in their profiles

This is what it looks like:

"business owner" AND (coach OR consultant) AND (health OR fitness OR nutrition)

So it first searches for the "business owner" first then everything else

So this logic translates to this: A business owner that is a couch or consulting for
health, fitness or nutrition

I'm sure you can see the power of boolean.
