You have the option to create an ad-hoc or saved search. An ad-hoc search is a one-off search, a saved search is saved and be available to run repeatedly.

If you are creating a saved search then you must enter a **Search Name** before you select the blue '**Saved Search**' button at the bottom of the form.

With both options you can search the following criteria:

**Country = **Currently you can only search UK or everywhere.  
**Job Title = **The current Job title held on the Linked-in profile.  
**Keyword to include = **This is NOT Boolean. Enter the keywords you want to include.

**Education = **You can search for All, Degree, Masters Degree, Doctoral Degree.  
**Current Employer = **Current employer of the Linked-in Profiles you are looking for.

Once you have entered your criteria (remembering to include a saved search name if you are running a Saved search), click either the appropriate search button

A new tab will open to display the results of your Google Linked-in search
