Search

Search Tracker

Look up a company or URL across both sheets of List.xlsx (Sheet1 = active applications, Rejected = rejected/closed applications).

What to do based on input

User gives a URL

1. Open List.xlsx with openpyxl (use temp copy if PermissionError).
2. Search column C in both sheets for that URL (exact or substring match). Also handle cells with =HYPERLINK(...) formula — extract the URL from inside the formula.
3. If found → show all matching rows (see Output Format below).
4. If not found → use requests to fetch the page and extract the <title> tag. Parse the company name from the title (format is usually "Job Title - Company | Platform"). Then search column A in both sheets by that company name.
5. Report clearly: "Not in tracker" if nothing matches after both attempts.

User gives a company name only

1. Open List.xlsx with openpyxl (use temp copy if PermissionError).
2. Search column A in both sheets — case-insensitive substring match.
3. Show all matching rows across both sheets (see Output Format below).
4. Report "Not in tracker" if nothing found.

Output Format

Group results by sheet, show row number, company, role, status (with emoji), URL, and any comments:

Found 3 match(es) for "Theodo":

  [Sheet1]
    Row 45 — Theodo | AI Engineer | ✅ Applied
             URL: https://welcometothejungle.com/...
    Row 67 — Theodo | Tech Lead | 🕐 In Progress
             URL: https://...

  [Rejected]
    Row 12 — Theodo | Backend Engineer | ❌ Rejected
             Note: French required

Status emoji mapping:

• done / applied → ✅ Applied
• in progress / under review → 🕐 In Progress
• rejected → ❌ Rejected
• not available / nothing to apply → ⏸️ No Jobs Available
• empty / other → ⬜ Not Contacted

Always show the Comments column (col F) if it has content — it often has useful notes like "Job posting CLOSED" or "French required".

Rules

• Always search BOTH sheets — Sheet1 and Rejected.
• Skip header row (row 1) when iterating.
• Company match is case-insensitive substring both ways: query in company OR company in query. Skip empty cells — empty string always matches any substring check, so guard with if company and if url before comparing.
• For URL search, also check if the URL is wrapped in a HYPERLINK formula.
• If the user gave a URL that's not in the tracker, always attempt to identify the company from the page before saying "not found".
