3. The Opportunity Matching Profile is used to notify you of newly posted
opportunities that match your business interests (keywords).
It is a saved search that you create (through the Opportunity Matching
function). The MERX search engine will check every day to see if there
are new opportunities posted that match your criteria and send you a list
via email. This function searches based on your keywords through all
the Opportunity Abstracts found on MERX.
If you prefer, you can "run" your saved search profile once you've logged
into your account to view the list of matching opportunities in addition to
receiving the email notifications.
