Where has the LinkedIn search on Dropbox Dash gone?
do you know what happened to the LinkedIn search functionality within Dash? I used to be able to enter "li" and it would only do a search for cached LinkedIn pages but that feature seems to be gone. It was my favorite!

Hi mattgitt13, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
When was the last time you were able to use this search feature?
This will help me to assist further!
- mattgitt132 years agoExplorer | Level 3Maybe just a couple of weeks ago? Maybe even less I use it all the time.

Hi from me too mattgitt13!
Could you clarify if you're having this issue with the web extension or the desktop Dash app or both?
Also, can you send us a couple of screenshots of what you get on your end when you try the steps you used to search for your LinkedIn pages?

I am having this issue on the desktop version of Dash for Mac. but I haven't tested it anywhere else. Previously, when I would search fora LinkedIn profile that I had previously found on my Chrome browser, it would pull up a direct link to that person's profile and let me copy the URL of their profile. I can't do that anymore. See attached screenshot for what happens when I search for my own name which used to pull up my profile. See redacted photo below.
I guess the broader question is how do I search directly within LinkedIn and not through other apps. - Megan2 years ago

Hey mattgitt13, do you remember being able to connect LinkedIn to Dropbox Dash in order to achieve the behavior you mentioned?
- mattgitt132 years agoExplorer | Level 3Yes, it used to be an app that was directly connected. I don’t see it anymore.

Hi mattgitt13, at the moment all the supported apps can be found here, and it doesn't seem like LinkedIn is part of the list.
Keep in mind that if LinkedIn has some trouble being connected, then there's no way to use Dropbox Dash with it.
- mattgitt132 years agoExplorer | Level 3It was a direct connection from the time Dash was Command-E until just last week. Why did it get dropped?

Hope it’s OK to jump in, mattgitt13, and thanks for notifying about this! I checked with our team, but it seems that this was never really supported. I’ve passed your feedback on to them though.
