Lusha Search lets you find and reveal contact details for millions of B2B decision-makers using filters like job title, department, seniority, company size, industry, location, and more. This guide covers how to run a search, apply filters, reveal contacts, save them to lists, and export your results.

Starting a search

  1. Log in to your Lusha dashboard.

  2. Click Prospect Search in the left navigation.

  3. Choose whether to search for Contacts or Companies using the toggle at the top.

Using the filter panel

Apply at least one filter to see results. The more filters you combine, the more targeted your list will be. Available filters include:

  • Job title, Department, Seniority

  • Location (country, city, region)

  • Company name, Domain, Industry, Company size, Revenue

  • Technologies used by the company

  • Contact details filter β€” filter by data type: Mobile, Direct phone, or Work email

  • Intent topics β€” surface contacts at companies researching relevant subjects (Premium and Scale plans)

See Filters breakdown β€” how to reach your ICP for a full filter reference.

Bulk search by company or job title

Upload a CSV file of company names or URLs to search for multiple companies at once. You can also use this to exclude specific companies or job titles from results.

πŸ’‘ Note: Free and self-service plans can search up to 100 companies at a time. Scale plans can search up to 1,000.

Saving and revealing contacts

  1. Select the contacts you want β€” individually or in bulk using Select all.

  2. Click Show details to reveal their contact information. Each reveal uses one credit.

  3. Click Save to and choose an existing list or click Create new list.

You can save up to 150 contacts to a list at a time. For larger batches, you'll receive an email when the save is complete and the list will appear in Contact Lists in the left navigation.

πŸ’‘ Note: Bulk reveal limits by plan β€” Free: 25, Pro: 50, Premium: 150, Scale: 5,000 contacts at a time.

Exporting results

  • Export to CSV β€” a download link is sent to your email. The link expires after 24 hours; re-export at any time to get a new one.

  • Export to CRM β€” push contacts directly to Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedream. See How to export contacts to CRM using Lusha.

  • Export company data to CSV β€” export up to 25 companies at a time from Search (Scale plan only), or up to 150 from your Lists.

Excluding previously shown contacts

To focus only on fresh, unrevealed prospects, toggle on the Exclude shown filter on the right side of the actions row. This removes all contacts your account has already revealed from the current search results.

πŸ’‘ Note: This filter is only available when results contain more than 25 and fewer than 10,000 contacts.

Filter by phone type

Filter contact results by the type of phone data available:

  • Mobile β€” cell phone number

  • Direct β€” direct landline

  • Phone β€” anything not tagged as mobile or direct

  • Work email β€” contact's work email address

Saved and recent searches

Save any filter combination to reuse later. See Saved and recent searches for details.

Now you're ready to prospect smarter β€” build your list, reveal the contacts you need, and push them straight to your CRM or outreach tool.
