LinkedIn is planning on making a number upgrades to its search engine with the intention of making it smarter and more streamlined. Last year, 5.7 billion professionally oriented searches were done on LinkedIn. The company sees millions of professionals, everyday find others and get found through LinkedIn search.
The company has changed the search experience so users no longer need to search for people, companies, or jobs separately. Now, they would need to do is type what they are looking for into the search box and see a comprehensive page of results that pulls content from all across LinkedIn including people, jobs, groups and companies.
