The Problem When you reach a certain amount of searches as well as a certain amount of profile views your ability to search will be restricted. Its based on the total number of searches executed in a certain period of time. The Experiment Ran a trial, on two separate occasions, to see how many searches would prompt LinkedIn to get mad at me. The Results The first trial rendered 89 separate searches total. The second 83 in 2+ days.
