# LinkedIn Profile Search

Search LinkedIn profiles by keyword with optional location and job-title filters. Each match returns a full profile record: name, headline, location, current position, work experience, education, and skills, plus the profile URL, handle, and id. For a cheaper name/headline/URL-only search use linkedin.search_profiles_thin; add emails with linkedin.search_profiles_email.
