what you may be looking for, and the more you search, the
better it will get at predicting what you want.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Automated Alerts
 Save time by saving your searches and LinkedIn will alert you when
the results change.
