Whenever I get a notification of being in a LinkedIn search, it usually means in a few days I will get hit with a huge amount of fraud, extortion (ie "filmed you m**********g so pay up") or fake charity emails. A pattern that is so evident. Appears these people use LinkedIn search facility to harvest email addresses. LinkedIn really doesn't care or verify legitimate searches (by companies) from these bad harvesters of names and emails.
