Linkedin does have a decent people search ability but only across its own landscape. So it can be difficult to find people outside of their member base. This is similar to sites like reunion.com and classmates that are niche.

But then again that’s the case with free sites its hard to get data that spans a larger database without having to pay for it.

Yes, same here. I had a real hard time finding people and companies with their old search. Glad it was changed and I love the new features.

Not mentioned, but interesting nonetheless, is that the search upgrade is open-source Lucene under the hood, just as MySpace opted to use Lucene for its own search upgrade. Nice to see even more open source as the foundation for Web 2.0.

LinkedIn had this example to search for when their new search came in:

“Vice President at Google”

and the search returned nothing, looks like they didn’t try their search before putting this example query up

Interesting, I had just had a discussion about a similar feature using a Fuzzy Matching to perform persistent searches over the LinkedIn or other Social/Business Networking database.

I notice that everyone who is claiming that the functionality isn’t any good are pimping their own site as the solution!

I use LinkedIn because it’s got millions of people and is truly world-wide (rather than just the USA). These two completely outweigh that fact that the company search functionality isn’t as good as others.

this is a nice set of features, however both you folks & LinkedIn buried the lede, which should have been: “People Search Alerts by Email Weekly”

We @ JobsByRef.com have these feature for quite sometime now…LinkedIn as a site is becoming like MySpace the screens are getting cluttered. Not the same LinkedIn that I used to like before. But good to know that they are making improvements.

PeopleSearches and Linkedin are of different focus. Anyway, PeopleSearches cannot let me search outside US…so it is not PEOPLE searches. Thanks to Linkedin, getting my CV done is a breeze
