How LinkedIn Search Algorithm Works

The platform released a report on how their search algorithm works to get the users best results. The Report is highly technical but here’s what I learned from reading it.

To give you better search results, algorithm uses your current social network and geographic location. They use a verification tool to make sure the keyword users are searching for exists in the post and provide relevant results.

A Go-to Explanation to LinkedIn’s search algorithm is they analyse your current network/usage and then based on two prime factors shows you content for your search.

That factors are Content Quality measurement And Relevance Quality model.

Relevancy signals are how comments and text in the post are relevant to the search. Also, LinkedIn extracts Metadata from posts to get more relevant results. Content Quality signals are engagement rate/ click through rate on every search when your post shows up.

This was a little bit of what I learned from reading a report. The platform also started that they are still not at their best to provide best results for new video formats.
