Maybe you want to find sales jobs, but only for the IT sector, or you\u2019re looking for warehouse work as a temp, so don\u2019t want to sift through loads of full time positions.<\/p>\n<p>Fear not &#8211; our <a href=\"\/advanced-search\">advanced search tool<\/a> enables you to fine tune your job hunt so you get precise results based on your filters and preferences.

Additionally, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind that some of this functionality extends to the email alert system (read our guide on <a href=\"\/explore\/how-to-setup-advanced-email-alerts\/\">setting up advanced email alerts<\/a> to learn more).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> All These Words<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is where you should put the main keywords you want to search by &#8211; \u2018IT sales manager\u2019, for example. You can also add location here as well if you like. There are more detailed options for your search location below as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> Contains<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Here, you can filter how accurate you want your search to be based on the keywords you\u2019ve entered above. It\u2019s set at 100% by default, which means if you run a search JobLookup will return results that contain all of these words. As you lower the percentages, you\u2019ll see slightly broader results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> Appear<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This section filters your result based on how many times your chosen keywords appear in a job post. The default setting of \u2018anywhere in the job description\u2019 will give you the most results. If you want to search for a specific job title however, like \u2018Class I HGV Driver\u2019, then you can choose to limit the search so it only picks up keywords after 3 words in. This is ideal for limiting your search to job titles alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> Exact Word or Phrase <\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is perfect for searching for specialised roles. Here, you can add industry specific keywords, tools, or phrases that could drastically narrow down your results. Let\u2019s suppose, for example, you\u2019re looking for C++ developer jobs. Adding C++ to this section will ensure you get the most relevant results. It can also be very useful if you work in a sector that has a lot of industry specific terminology. It can also be a good option if you\u2019re searching for roles in a specific company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> Any of These Words<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can add additional keywords in this box, and they\u2019ll be added to your search terms. This is a good way to widen your search if you\u2019re not seeing what you want from standard results. Continuing with our software developer example, let\u2019s say you want to find developer jobs that cover C++, Linux, and Microsoft. If you add them here, you\u2019ll get search results that include all these words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-461 img-fluid img-thumbnail\" src=\"\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-15_08-58-12-518x1024.jpg\" alt=\"An example of the JobLookup advanced search results using keywords\" width=\"518\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-15_08-58-12-518x1024.jpg 518w, https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-15_08-58-12-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-15_08-58-12.jpg 647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> None of These Words<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The exact opposite of the above option, any words you put in this field will be explicitly excluded from any search you run. This is useful if you\u2019re looking for IT jobs, but only want managerial positions and not anything else. Add in keywords like \u2018support\u2019 and \u2018sales\u2019, and these kinds of roles won\u2019t show up in your search results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i class=\"fas fa-check-circle\">\u00a0<\/i> Distance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You might want to search for all carpentry jobs within a 50 mile radius of Basingstoke perhaps, or all train driver jobs within 20 miles of London.
