Boolean Search
Combine terms with AND and OR in Manual Search to build precise, flexible queries.
In Manual Search, these fields can combine their values with Boolean operators:
- Current title and Past title
- Current company and Past company
- Keywords
How it works
Add each term as its own chip — type it and press Enter. Between every two chips sits a small OR pill. Click it to switch it to AND, and click again to switch back.
- OR widens the search: a candidate needs to match any of the terms.
- AND narrows it: a candidate needs to match all of the terms joined by it.
Simple searches — just use OR
For alternatives within one idea, leave every pill on OR:
VP OR Vice President OR EVP OR SVP
Account Executive OR AE OR Business Development
Combining ideas — mix AND and OR
AND binds tighter than OR, so terms joined by AND are grouped together first. These chips:
Senior AND Sales OR Lead AND Business Development
search for (Senior AND Sales) or (Lead AND Business Development).
Keep each chip to one term or phrase — Account Executive as a single chip, not two. If a combination gets complicated, it's often easier to describe it to Rose in plain language instead.
