# Search for people

Returns people in 6sense's B2B database who match company domain, job title, level, function, location or industry filters, without their emails or phone numbers.

Send at least one of `domain`, `industryNAICS`, `email`, `linkedinUrl`,
`country` or `jobTitle`, each a list of up to 10 values. Filters combine as
one flat AND of ORs, such as (Product Manager OR Engineer) AND (US OR
Canada), with no nesting. Page with `pageNo` and `pageSize` (up to 1,000).
Each match says which contact data 6sense holds (`hasEmail`,
`emailConfidence`, `hasPhone`), and `includeInSystemFlag=true` marks people
already in your CRM or MAP. Search costs no credits; enrich the matches by
their people ID to get emails and phone numbers.
