You can use the member search to look for interesting contacts on XING. Click on the magnifier icon in the top right corner of the website or in the XING app and choose Members.
Now enter the search terms you want (e.g. name, position, company). A list of the most relevant search results will appear. You can view the profiles found and send contact requests if you wish. You can also sort the list using the filter at the top by "Relevant first" or "Newest first".
Basic members get a maximum of 10 search results without any restrictions, even if there are considerably more results for the search terms they entered. If they wish they can narrow down the search results even further using the "Contact level" filter.
Premium members are shown up to 300 search results. Premium Members also have access to the advanced search on the website, allowing them to search more specifically using individual profile fields or filters.
If you are a premium member, you can carry out an "Advanced Search" on the website as follows:Click on the magnifier icon in the top right corner of the website. Use the filters and search fields on the left-hand side of the screen. Now enter your search terms in the respective fields and hit enter or choose from the dropdown menu.
Important: If you enter several search terms, you will only see those results that are 100% matches for all these terms in the member search. If no results are shown, then there were no matches. In which case, you can either alter your search terms or enter fewer terms.
