You can make two types of searches in Distill: Basic or Advanced (see Advanced search). This article will detail how to make basic searches on Distill.
-
Log into your Distill account and type in a person or company name in the top search bar and press enter. You can also go to https://distill.fyi/search/basic to begin search.
- Recommended: You can use a URL link, such as a LinkedIn profile or company landing site, to search instead of using a name.
- Tip: Type in their full name and include a company or title in your search to make it more precise. e.g Russ Heddleston Distill.
- You will see search results for company profiles and then people profiles. You can verify a person's profile by their profile picture, degree of connection, title/experience, and LinkedIn profile, which is accessible on the right.
-
Important: If this is the first time someone has searched for their profile, we'll need some time to generate the entire profile. You can make other searches while the profile is developing and see any profile you visited under Recent Visits
