> LinkedIn boolean search uses AND, OR, NOT, and quoted phrases to filter people search on LinkedIn or Sales Navigator.

Glossary

LinkedIn boolean search combines keywords with AND, OR, NOT, and quoted phrases so you can narrow people search on LinkedIn or Sales Navigator.

Example shape: `(Founder OR CEO) AND ("LinkedIn MCP" OR outbound) NOT intern`. Multi-word phrases usually need quotes.

Build one in the browser with the free [LinkedIn boolean search builder](https://zevari.ai/tools/linkedin-boolean-search). When you need recent intent instead of a static list, use Zevari signal targeting via [LinkedIn MCP](https://zevari.ai/linkedin-mcp).

Questions

## FAQ

### Does a boolean string send outreach?

No. It only filters search. Zevari's free builder outputs a copyable string and does not send messages.

### Why use signal targeting instead of only boolean lists?

Boolean lists are static. Zevari signal targeting finds people who posted about a topic in the last 30 days and ICP-scores them - intent now, not a frozen directory.
