# Search industries

> Search the industries reference list by keyword. Each result has `id`, `name`, and `hierarchy`.

Pass the response to whichever consumer needs it:

- `id` → [Search for people](/api-reference/people-search/search-for-people): `industry_includes_ids` / `industry_excludes_ids`.
- `name` → [ICP criteria](/api-reference/icp-criteria/create-an-icp-criteria) rules with `firmographic_kind=linkedin_industry`: `contains` / `not_contains`.
