{% endhint %}

| Sales Navigator | 25              | 2500                      |

**Examples**

<table><thead><tr><th width="144">Search Type</th><th width="179">Contacts in Search</th><th width="343">Number of Pages to Find All Contacts</th><th>Split?</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Linkedin</td><td>720</td><td>72</td><td>No</td></tr><tr><td>Sales Navigator</td><td>1250</td><td>50</td><td>No</td></tr><tr><td>Linkedin</td><td>1500</td><td>Must split into lists with a maximum of 1000 per search</td><td>Yes</td></tr><tr><td>Sales Navigator</td><td>3500</td><td>Must split into lists with a maximum of 2500 per search</td><td>Yes</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Re-running a Search into the Same List

Re-running a search into the same list never adds anyone twice. People already on the list only have their empty fields filled in, and their history shows an "Already in list" line.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Each page is fetched again, so a re-run is charged per page like a new search. Only re-run a search into the same list when you want new results.
{% endhint %}

## Download the Results

{% hint style="info" %}
It takes 10-15 minutes to find all the contacts in your search.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the [Lists](https://app.parvenu.io/app/lists) page
2. Search for the list you created and open the table
3. Download the file or export it to one of our integrations.

[Lists](/features/lists.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Check Your Search Status

You can view the progress of your search to see if it has finished.

1. View it directly from the Chrome Extension by clicking "Check Status"

<figure><img src="https://3056956210-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7fhR4lGcU91bWvaHi4x6%2Fuploads%2FkkzkfB2ce5Mn6IQV5RV9%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3a74c4ff-c6f1-4ad7-8e9d-52fae9101a88" alt="Job List Status" width="297"><figcaption><p>Job List Status</p></figcaption></figure>

2. Additionally, you can view the progress from within the app on the [Lists](https://app.parvenu.io/app/lists) page.

## Splitting Larger Searches

If you have over 1000 contacts in a Linkedin people search or over 2500 contacts in a Sales Navigator search, you can still get all the contacts in the search, but you'll need to split the search into smaller searches.

{% hint style="info" %}
The easiest way to split a search is by geography.
{% endhint %}

## Limitations

In order to keep your account safe, Parvenu does not run on your Linkedin or Sales Navigator account. From an account safety standpoint, this is good because there is no danger to your personal account - but it limits some of the search terms that are specific to your account.

{% hint style="info" %}
Parvenu does not run your Linkedin or Sales Navigator account.
{% endhint %}

Here are a list of search filters that are not currently supported.

<table><thead><tr><th width="269">Not Supported Searches</th><th>Section</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Groups</td><td>Personal</td></tr><tr><td>Following your company</td><td>Buyer intent</td></tr><tr><td>Viewed your profile recently</td><td>Buyer intent</td></tr><tr><td>Connection</td><td>Best path In</td></tr><tr><td>Connections of</td><td>Best path in</td></tr><tr><td>Past colleague</td><td>Best path in</td></tr><tr><td>Shared experiences</td><td>Best path in</td></tr><tr><td>Persona</td><td>Workflow</td></tr><tr><td>Accounts lists</td><td>Workflow</td></tr><tr><td>Leads lists</td><td>Workflow</td></tr><tr><td>People in CRM</td><td>Workflow</td></tr><tr><td>People you interacted with</td><td>Workflow</td></tr><tr><td>Saved leads and accounts</td><td>Workflow</td></tr></tbody></table>
