Is there a way to search for people who have recently started new positions? A new job announcement endpoint would be very useful for us.

I want to find people who have just left a specific company, like Tesla, as their last job. The current API allows searching for previous employers but doesn't guarantee that it was their latest job. This makes it difficult to filter and find the specific individuals I'm interested in without running large queries, which increases costs.

Enable Elasticsearch query options that are currently disabled due to resource requirements https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-fuzzy-query.html https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-minimum-should-match.html

Please develop a way for PDL to not send Profiles they've already sent that have been imported already in the target system. Users complain that PDL returns the same Profiles again and again on the same searches via the API. Example: a user in the target system searches and brings back 15 Profiles from PDL. They import all 15 Profiles. User does same search again in future weeks. 20 Profiles come over from PDL via the API. Users see the same 15 Profiles in the return and have to go from Page 1 to Page 3 to find the 5 newer Profiles. This is not a good user experience. Just don't send the 15 if they are exactly the same.

Using nested queries can help uncover which individuals are a particular job role at a company during a particular time range.

Currently, Make is the only integration that allows for both search and enrich. Can we add search functionality to the other integrations as well?

Add better search experience in Person Search, providing a way to get the best matching / most relevant Persons on top by scoring the result. An option would be to index the profiles using BM25, for example. some resources about BM25 on elasticsearch: https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/improved-text-scoring-with-bm25 https://www.elastic.co/blog/practical-bm25-part-1-how-shards-affect-relevance-scoring-in-elasticsearch https://www.elastic.co/blog/practical-bm25-part-2-the-bm25-algorithm-and-its-variables

I would like the ability to perform geo-location searches using latitude and longitude directly within the platform, as this would greatly enhance our ability to target specific geographic areas more precisely.

Add "boost" as a valid query parameter within Elastic search queries in the person search API: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-boosting-query.html

To enable better match rates, the ability to write custom sort logic into the ES query would be very helpful. Reference: https://medium.com/tensult/elasticsearch-sort-by-manual-input-order-5f366b6ea31e
