Advanced search
title and description take Google-style queries. For full control, the _advanced parameters take Boolean expressions: title_advanced, description_advanced (title, employer and description), organization_advanced and location_advanced. An advanced parameter replaces its plain counterpart.
Google-style syntax
| You write | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| nurse manager | Both words | Anywhere in the field, any order. |
| "nurse manager" | Phrase | The words next to each other, in order. |
| nurse OR rn | Either | OR binds the terms on each side. |
| nurse -student | Exclude | Jobs without the word. |
| engineer* | Prefix | engineer, engineering, engineers… |
Boolean syntax
| Operator | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| & | AND | Both sides match. |
| | | OR | Either side matches. |
| ! | NOT | The term or group does not match. |
| <-> | Followed by | The next word comes immediately after. |
| <N> | Distance | The next word comes exactly N words later: senior <2> engineer matches "senior software engineer". |
| '…' | Phrase | Shorthand for words joined with <->. |
| ( ) | Grouping | Evaluate the inner expression first. |
| :* | Prefix | develop:* matches develop, developer, development. |
Terms written side by side without an operator are combined with &. Matching ignores case and accents, and punctuation splits words (node.js is the phrase node <-> js). A malformed expression returns 400 with the reason.
