How it works
- Switch to Advanced mode and pick Use keywords from the search-type dropdown in the search panel.
- Type a keyword into the search bar and press Enter. The keyword becomes a pill.
- Repeat for as many keywords as you need: each press of Enter adds another pill. Remove a pill with its × button, or press Backspace in the empty input to remove the last one.
- Run the search. GOI performs a full-text (BM25) search over organization profiles and returns matches, ranked by how well the keywords match each profile.
- You know the exact terminology your target organizations use.
- Semantic paraphrasing is a risk (e.g. niche technical terms, brand names, standards).
- You want to sanity-check a semantic search by comparing against a strict keyword-only variant.
Combine with filters
Keyword Search can be combined with any of the usual filters to narrow the scope further:- Location Filters: restrict to a country, state, district, or city.
- Organizational Filters: restrict by organization size, type, or NACE sector.
- Keyword refinement filters: layered Must Include (Any / All) and Must Not Include filters on top of the main keyword query, for even more precise control.
