CONTENT SEARCH
Previously, it was rather difficult to look for articles or updates that members posted on specific topics — such as livestreaming, business, cloud computing, or virtual reality — it sometimes required going to an individual’s profile to view the content.
We have updated our search tool across iOS and Android apps to now include content-based results
Members can search by keywords, such as “driverless cars” or “careers in art” or “executive education”
Included in the results page will not only be things like “jobs requiring the skills of augmented reality” or “people with the skills,” but also posts written specifically about the topic.
At LinkedIn our product teams are on a mission to transform LinkedIn search
Making it more useful, fast and fun so you will be more effective in your career.
Another win for members is the ability to search based on hashtag
So if you post a status update today from your device use the hashtag #InEdu16
