Added the options of searching for remote within locale / country. Also added options to search within a state or province and search within a country supposing one is open to relocation.
Description
Allowed 'city' and 'province_or_state' to be Null - this allows searching country-wide, or if city is not Null but province_or_state is Null, search will be for within the indicated province or state.
Added 'remote_within_country' in settings.yaml to specifically distinguish between searching by remote vs searching by region when province_or_state and/or city are Null.
Example cases in my_settings.yaml:
To search entire country if one is willing to relocate anywhere:
province_or_state: Null
city: Null
remote_within_country: False
To search within entire province or state (radius will not be accounted):
province_or_state: (ie. Scotland)
city: Null
remote_within_country: False
To search entire country for remote roles:
province_or_state: Null
city: Null
remote_within_country: True
Please note: CSV entries organically log the location of the user who posted the job listing, so even when a job is remote, a CSV entry for location still exists, thus '' for entry is unnecessary.
To implement remote for Indeed, location is set to remote.
No such option exists for Monster, but many jobs have the keyword remote in its listing, so setting remote involves adding the keyword remote in search queries.
Monster also has in the past prompted people to search by the keywords 'Work From Home.' However, 'Work From Home' in addition to other keyword queries has returned little results compared to adding the keyword 'remote.'
Please note: Even though 'remote_within_country: ' is set to True, it is not guaranteed within each platform that all jobs will be remote due to promoted listings.
