With so much information on the internet, search is becoming more relevant. Here at Alltop, we've mined the 'net for all of the top news in more than 700 topics, giving readers a head start in their search for a specific industry's news.

Today, LinkedIn announced an improvement to their people search experience: faceted search.

“Faceted Search” offers dynamic filters that are automatically generated based on your actual query results. These filters let you quickly and easily hone your query over 50 million LinkedIn profiles based on 8 facets: current company, past company, location, relationship, location, industry, school, and profile languages.

Some of the benefits to faceted search include:

  • Increases Efficiency
  • Improves Precision
  • Enables True Guided Navigation
  • Stay ahead of your competition with LinkedIn news.

What I'm waiting for is for LinkedIn to allow me to search a follower's connections using these advanced search capabilities. When I make a new local connection I want to be able to see a list of their local connections, right now that's not possible.
