## Changelog

### Version 1.11 - Worldwide Job Search Support (December 17, 2024)

#### Major Enhancements

**Worldwide Location Support**

- Added intelligent fallback system to search jobs globally when specific locations return no results
- Location input now supports:
  - Specific locations: `"bangalore"`, `"mumbai"`, `"delhi"`
  - All locations: `"all"`, `"worldwide"`, or leave empty
  - Automatic fallback: If a specific location returns 0 jobs, automatically tries searching all locations

#### Technical Changes

**Search Strategy**

- Implemented `searchAttempts` array to track multiple search URL variations
- Added fallback logic in Phase 1 crawler:
  - First attempts location-specific search
  - If no results on first page, automatically tries broader search without location filter
- Enhanced logging to show which search variation is being executed

**Input Schema Updates**

- Updated location field description to clarify worldwide support
- Changed default location from empty to `"all"` for better user experience
- Added note about AmbitionBox being primarily India-focused

**URL Building**

- Support for both location-specific URLs: `jobs/{role}-jobs-in-{location}-prfloc`
- Support for worldwide URLs: `jobs/{role}-jobs-prf`
- Automatic construction of role slug for URLs

#### User Benefits

1. **No Configuration Needed**: Users can simply set location to `"all"` to get worldwide results
2. **Intelligent Fallback**: If searching for a location with no jobs, automatically expands search
3. **Better Visibility**: Enhanced logging shows which search variation is active
4. **Preserved Functionality**: All existing features (Naukri integration, company info, benefits) work unchanged

#### Usage Examples

```json
// Search all locations worldwide
{
  "role": "software engineer",
  "location": "all",
  "maxJobs": 50
}

// Search specific location with automatic fallback
{
  "role": "data scientist",
  "location": "bangalore",
  "maxJobs": 30
}

// Worldwide search (alternative)
{
  "role": "python developer",
  "location": "worldwide",
  "maxJobs": 100
}
```
