A while ago I stopped receiving invitations to apply for jobs at all. So I decided to check for my profile in the search results. To my surprise I didn't find it, I tried searching by name, title, skills, etc. But there was no use. I also tried to apply all the filters possible to minimize the search results outcome, and even though I went page by page, I didn't find my profile.
When I tried to contact support, They informed me that everything was ok and I don't have to worry. but I still don't know how this is possible to disappear from the search completely.
Also I know about the rotation thing in search results, I understood that it is concerning the order of the appearance in the results not whether a profile appears or not.
So I am looking for a solution or an explanation of this if someone have any.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Peter,
I just searched for your name with no additional filters, and you were listed on the second page of the results.
As we have explained before on these boards, search results depend on many factors such as who is searching, when, whether the search is done for a posted job or not. Additionally, the results are rotated to make sure as many qualified freelancers as possible have a chance to be noticed. Your profile can show on the first page when a client runs a search today but not tomorrow.

Hi guys, could you please let me know if you can find me on search results? I can't find my profile. I use name, keyword and nothing. Thank you for your help.

Hi Anjeela,
When I search for your profile by your name with no additional filters, you're the only one who appears on the search results for me. Various factors go into search results, and results may differ over time, partly to allow more freelancers a chance to be discovered. Some considerations may include Freelancer skills, experience, platform ratings, and other elements geared toward determining a potential match for the client’s job.

Clients usually don't search by name on Upwork. Upwork's search considers skills, experience, and ratings to match freelancers with jobs. While support might say your profile is fine, it could be missing keywords or lack recent activity. Focus on optimizing your profile for your desired skills and consider sending proposals to relevant jobs instead of waiting for invites. This will improve your search ranking over time. Don't worry, it's not like a BISE Lahore Result where you either pass or fail . Upwork search results are constantly changing!
