Search for People in Connections

You can access the Connections application from a quick action in the Me tab. On the Connections page, use a person’s name or email to search.

As you type your search criteria, you see an autosuggested list of results that you can select from to open a person's profile. If you don't see the person you’re searching for in this list, you can press Enter and see another list of profiles that match your search criteria.

You can search using various person-related fields, but Connections uses people’s names for a primary search and other fields are secondary.

You can also click the Advanced Search icon on the page to view filters across categories. You can select multiple values to refine your search. When you click a filter, a list of values available for that filter along with the number of people that match that filter are displayed in a list. For a filter, the top 10 values with more number of results are displayed, but you can search for other values. Select a value from the list and apply it to your search for more targeted results. The available filters include Country, City, Tags, Title, Location, Job, Department, and Position.

After you search for a person and press Enter, you’ll see some results that match your search criteria. To see more results, click Show All Employees and you can see all results that match your search criteria.

Connections performs a fuzzy search so that people whose names closely match your search criteria are also displayed. For example, if you search for person named ‘Anderson’, you can see results with names like ‘Andersen’. This means you can still find the person you’re looking for if you don’t know how their name is spelled or if you type a name incorrectly.

After you visit a person’s profile from the main page, you can search for other people from that profile. You need not go back to the Connections page to search for other people.
