Optimizing Search Queries for Better Company Results

Hi there, first time user. When finding companies, I notice a difference in search results if I select a pre-populated field (e.g. "Data Scientist"), versus writing in "Data Science". Thoughts on how to create a more all-encompassing query?

Since Clay doesn't currently have full semantic search capabilities, you'll need to be comprehensive with your search terms to get complete results. Here are some strategies to create more inclusive queries:1. Include various permutations of terms you're searching for 2. Use advanced search operators to enhance your search: • Put exact phrases in quotation marks " " • Use AND/OR operators to combine terms • Add 'site:' to focus on specific websites • Include 'intitle:' for title-specific searches • Use 'inurl:' for URL-specific terms • Use minus (-) to exclude specific termsFor example, if searching for tech executives, you might use: "CEO" AND ("software company" OR "tech startup") to capture different variations.
