Split a search over 2,500 results

Use the query splitter to divide a Sales Navigator search into sub-searches that each fit under 2,500, check their live counts and scrape them all.

Updated

Quick answer

Open Scraper › Query splitter, paste the Sales Navigator search, enter the estimated total, leave Split dimension on Auto and click Split search. Check counts with Inspect all (or Batch-inspect for automatic splitting with live counts), then click Copy all links and paste them into Scraper › Bulk scrape › Add in bulk to scrape every piece.

Sales Navigator shows at most 2,500 results for any search. The query splitter divides a bigger search into sub-searches that each fit, keeping your own filters.

  1. Open Query splitter (under Scraper).
  2. Choose the LinkedIn account whose Sales Navigator checks the counts.
  3. Paste the Sales Navigator search URL.
  4. Estimated total leads: the number Sales Navigator shows. It helps Auto decide how many pieces to create.
  5. Split dimension: leave on Auto (the first filter that splits it), or choose Seniority, Function, Company headcount, Years in current position and others.
  6. Click Split search.

Check live counts

  • Inspect all checks every sub-search's live count, one at a time.
  • Inspect remaining checks only those without a count yet.
  • Batch-inspect splits with live counts automatically until every piece fits, and reports coverage: how many of the original results the pieces reach.

Any sub-search still over 2,500 can be split further from its row.

Query splitter: a large search divided into sub-searches with their live counts
Sub-searches with their live counts. Each one fits under Sales Navigator's 2,500 limit.

Scrape every piece

  1. Click Copy all links on the sub-search list.
  2. Open Scraper › Bulk scrape › Add in bulk and paste them (one per line).
  3. Pick the accounts and how many links each takes, then add and start. See scrape many searches at once.

Leads found by more than one sub-search are saved once.

Frequently asked questions

Which split dimension should I use?

Auto works for most searches. Seniority and Company headcount split cleanly because every profile has one value.

What does coverage mean?

The share of the original search the sub-searches reach together. Profiles with no value for the splitting filter can fall outside every piece; coverage shows how many.

Does the splitter use my Sales Navigator account?

Yes. It opens each sub-search with the account you choose to read the live count, at a human pace.
