Filters — all optional

Date range

• Published — relative range (recommended): pick Last hour / 24h / 3d / 7d / 30d / 90d. Easiest way to track "what's new".
• Published from / to (absolute): use date pickers for exact ranges. Ignored when the relative range above is set.
• Scraped from / to: filter by the date we ingested the job (independent of when it was published).

Categories

Multi-select. Choose one or more:

Design & Creative · Sales & Marketing · Web Mobile & Software Dev · Admin Support · Engineering & Architecture · Accounting & Consulting · Writing · Data Science & Analytics · Customer Service · IT & Networking · Translation · Legal

Experience levels

Multi-select: Entry, Intermediate, Expert.

Text search — boolean syntax

Four independent search fields, all case-insensitive. They use a friendly boolean syntax:

You write	Means
python	Title/desc must contain "python"
python and django	Both required
python or sql	Either
"power bi"	The exact phrase
python and not junior	Has "python", does NOT have "junior"
(excel or python) and "power bi"	Grouped

• Search — title + description: applies to both columns
• Search — title only: title only
• Search — description only: description only
• Exclude from title / description: comma-separated tokens to remove. Example: junior, intern, entry-level

⚠ MySQL FULLTEXT ignores tokens shorter than 4 characters (sql, php, go, r). Use longer phrases when possible — e.g., "sql server" instead of sql.

Skills

Multi-tag input. Type each skill, hit Enter to add. Then choose:

• Any (OR) — job has at least one matching skill
• All (AND) — job has every selected skill

Description length

Drop low-effort jobs by setting Minimum description length. Common values:

• 300 — filters out one-line postings
• 1000 — only detailed briefs
• 2000 — premium, well-specified jobs

Money

• Fixed budget min / max ($USD)
• Hourly min ≥ / Hourly max ≤ ($USD/hour)
• Fixed-price filter — only fixed | exclude fixed | either
• Hourly filter — only hourly | exclude hourly | either

Sort

• Published — newest / oldest first (default = newest)
• Scraped — newest / oldest first
• Fixed budget — highest first
• Hourly max — highest first

Cost control

maxItems	Cost
100	$0.30
1 000 (default)	$3.00
10 000	$30.00
100 000	$300.00

The actor stops as soon as the cap is hit, so you never overspend by accident.
