Here are three easy steps that will\u00a0save you time and frustration.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Search with carefully-chosen keywords and phrases.<\/h2>\n<p>Change up your search terms and see which gives you the best results. Some tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the spelling, and leave a space between words.<\/li>\n<li>Choose different keywords that describe your search, or use fewer descriptive words.<\/li>\n<li>Search for the plural form of your keyword by adding an \u201cs\u201d at the end.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use punctuation unless you expect it in the results.<\/li>\n<li>For exact phrase searches, put quotation marks around your phrase. Example: \u201cphp development\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Exclude a word from the results by adding a hyphen \u201c-\u201d in front with no space. Example: &#8220;development -design&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Narrow your search results with filters.<\/h2>\n<p>Continue honing in on the jobs you really want by applying filters. You can filter by category, budget, and location. You can also\u00a0filter out non-featured jobs, those\u00a0you have viewed, and those you have applied to.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Save your searches.<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re happy with your search results, save the search. Your saved searches will appear in the \u201cSaved Searches\u201d drop-down menu on the search page and on your dashboard.\u00a0Check back regularly to see newly posted jobs that meet your criteria<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"find freelance jobs on Guru\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guru.com\/d\/jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Search Freelance Jobs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having trouble finding the freelance jobs you want on Guru?
