The Opportunity Matching Profile is used to notify you of newly posted opportunities that match your business interests (keywords). It is a saved search that you create (through the Opportunity Matching function). The MERX search engine will check every day to see if there are new opportunities posted that match your criteria and send you a list via email. This function searches based on your keywords through all the Opportunity Abstracts found on MERX. If you prefer, you can "run" your saved search profile once you've logged into your account to view the list of matching opportunities in addition to receiving the email notifications.
