Enhance job search with advanced filtering, company URLs, and maintainable selectors

Major Features Added:

  • Location-based filtering: Search jobs by specific locations
  • Company URL extraction: Automatically extract LinkedIn company URLs
  • Advanced job descriptions: Optional detailed job description scraping
  • Configurable result limits: Control max number of jobs returned
  • Progressive scrolling: Intelligent loading of more job results

Technical Improvements:

  • Right panel extraction: Efficient job detail scraping without page navigation
  • Robust selector fallbacks: Multiple CSS selectors for resilience to LinkedIn UI changes
  • Stale element handling: Immediate data extraction to prevent WebDriver crashes
  • Smart scrolling logic: Configurable scroll distance, timing, and stop conditions

API Changes:

# Enhanced search method with new parameters
job_search.search(
    search_term="Software Engineer",
    location="San Francisco, CA",          # NEW: Location filtering
    max_results=50,                        # NEW: Result limit control
    include_description=True,              # NEW: Detailed job descriptions
    include_company_urls=True              # NEW: Company LinkedIn URLs
