Required/Desired Controls for Manually Added Keywords

Search

What's New?

You can now fine-tune manually added keywords in Keyword Search the same way you already can with Autobuild-generated keywords. Every keyword you type and add can be toggled between Required, Desired, or Excluded.

Why Does It Matter?

This gives you consistent control over your search no matter how the keyword got there, whether manually added or generated through Autobuild. You can now surface the best matches first without limiting your results.

How Do I Enable It?

This update is automatically available for all Amplify Search & Match customers. When adding keywords manually in Keyword Search, click any keyword chip to set it to Required (only matching candidates appear), Desired (matching candidates rank higher), or Exclude (matching candidates are removed).

This is part of the BH R2026.8 release. Click here for release calendar details.
