Does anyone have experience with a geographic and industry focused search?

I know that all the materials say not to narrow down geography and industry as potential targets are too few. I'm searching in California, which is the 5th largest economy in the world. Would love to see if anyone has any experience in doing both a California and industry specific search.

Depending on your background, industry specific searches make a lot of sense. Depending on your family or life circumstance, geographical locations make sense too. If you have the ability to be picky on these things I think it makes sense to do.
