How to Correct a Boolean Search Error?

Why do I see this error?


​
It means that there is a problem in the way you wrote your Boolean query in Sales Navigator.
​
LinkedIn doesn't tell you when there is an error in your Boolean but Evaboot does.
​
If your Boolean is not correctly written:
​

  1. You won't get the lead you are looking for in your search

  2. Evaboot is not able to run the Lead Filtering algorithm.
    ​
    ​

How to Fix it?

  1. Make sure you only use AND, OR, NOT as Boolean operators

  2. Make sure all quotes go by pair → " "

  3. Make sure all parentheses go by pair → ( )

Check if you have parenthesis in some of your company names
​
​

90% of the time, you see this error because there are parenthesis in some of the company names in your search.
​
Just add quotes around the company name that have parenthesis or special characters on it.
​
For example:

Example & friends (Limited Company)

Becomes:
​

"Example & friends (Limited Company)"
