Job Search Bar

The Job Search Bar is the quickest way to jump to any job from the Jobs page.

Open it​

Use either:

  • keyboard shortcut: Cmd+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux)
  • the Search button in the Jobs page filter row

What it searches​

Search matches job fields with fuzzy ranking:

  • title
  • company/employer
  • location

Results are grouped by status sections:

  • Ready
  • Discovered
  • Applied
  • Other

Selecting a result opens that job in its correct tab automatically.

Status lock (@)​

You can lock the search scope to one status:

  1. Type @ plus a status prefix (example: @rea, @app).
  2. Press Tab or Enter to apply the lock.
  3. Continue typing your normal query.

Supported lock targets:

  • ready
  • discovered
  • applied
  • skipped
  • expired

Common aliases:

  • ready: ready, rdy
  • discovered: discovered, discover, disc
  • applied: applied, apply, app
  • skipped: skipped, skip, skp
  • expired: expired, expire, exp

Lock controls​

  • Backspace on an empty query clears the active lock.
  • Esc clears the active lock while the search dialog stays open.
  • Closing the dialog resets lock state.

When to use this vs filters​

  • Use Search Bar when you already know what role/company you want to jump to quickly.
  • Use Filters when you want broad narrowing (source, salary, sponsor, sort) for browsing.
