Keyword searches match jobs with no keyword matches. Like devops

It doesn't work at all for me. I always get the same results no matter what I type on the search box.

It also searches job descriptions for those keywords. If the keyword is in the job description, the result is returned.

You may be searching too broadly. Adding additional keywords will help to narrow the results.

When searching, you can see the number of results returned at the top left.

EDIT: I did find an error that was sometimes causing auto-complete and search to not work. This has been resolved.

The domain is awesome. Did you pay a premium for it?

No! I'm actually the original registrant of the domain. I actually have way too many domains and ideas that I'd love to build and this is a great example.

I originally registered it with the intent of building a remote monitoring and management tool or an infrastructure provider company but never got around to doing either venture.

The remote job site came about because I realized I was getting a lot of unintentional traffic from people searching for remote jobs. As it wasn't a terribly difficult venture, I decided to build it out and see how it went and so far, it's done well.

You know "medical coder" has NOTHING to do with software right?

Hi, I am mostly remote (1 out of 3 clients is onsite). Are you looking for any help on running this site? I am interested in seeing this idea grow to contain more job listings.

I can't be the only one that gets frustrated at these remote only career sites that don't display salary/day rate. It's such a waste of time for both parties to have to go through the hoops just to find out that the compensation is not worth it.

Stackoverflow does it best - provide a filter for jobs that don't provide compensation info.
