Searching on linkedin, any experts?

[philcray]

I have used linkedin a lot over the years but there seems to be a fault/change with the search engine unless I am doing something wrong?

When trying to search on a phrase within inverted commas e.g. "british leyland" it now brings up everyone who mentions british and leyland at any point, for the search to be of any value I obviously just want "British Leyland" together.

Looking on the linkedin help page, it claims that using " " should work.

Anybody else had this problem, thought appreciated.

Boxes at top of search say content, people etc to filter.

FYI - They have deliberately screwed up search algorithm to get people to pay for navigator licence functionality.
