# Search and filter contacts

`GET /contacts/search`

Search saved people: name, profile URL, optional Fit / not-a-fit, outreach status, tags, score, and list membership. Supports pagination and sorting.

## Query parameters

- `linkedinUrl` string — Filter by LinkedIn URL (exact match)
- `name` string — Filter by name (partial match)
- `lifecycleStage` 'contact' | 'lead' | 'qualified' | 'rejected'
- `sortBy` string — Sort order. One of: updatedAt_desc / updatedAt_asc (most recent activity — default), hotScore_desc / hotScore_asc, lastRepliedAt_desc / lastRepliedAt_asc, lastContactedAt_desc / lastContactedAt_asc, createdAt_desc / createdAt_asc, name_asc / name_desc, profileUpdatedAt_desc / profileUpdatedAt_asc.
- `minHotScore` integer
- `outreachStatus` 'none' | 'connection_sent' | 'connected' | 'dm_sent' | 'followed_up' | 'replied' | 'in_conversation' | 'meeting_booked' | 'not_interested'
- `tag` string — Filter by tag
- `doNotContact` 'true' | 'false'
- `hasProfileData` 'true' | 'false'
- `campaignId` string
- `engaged` 'true' | 'false' — Default true: return only people with outreach started, a reply, or membership in a real (non chat-draft) list. Pass false for every saved row including collected residue. Ignored when campaignId is set, since that is already an explicit list.
- `omitData` 'true' | 'false' — Return identity and verdict only: no profile blob, no campaign membership, no timestamps. Much smaller, and a different row shape rather than the same one with holes.
- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer
