For a recruiter, of course, LinkedIn is of particular interest according to our survey: In the Internet you can find ready-made X-Ray queries for most popular sites: LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Drives, etc. Each site has its own pages and directives. It is based on the same Boolean operators, but requires deeper diving and site analysis. X-Ray Search provides a comprehensive analysis of a specific resource. Recruiters gather skills and keywords to build boolean queries manually. Using the OR operator, you can search for any of the specified words, and AND allows you to get pages in the output with the presence of several specified words, or vice versa – without some words. It contains the word or exact phrase that we want to find on the page.
The most popular operator is the quotation marks “”. Boolean queries and X-Ray searchĪ Boolean search is a query to a search engine (Google) by using special logical operators, thanks to which you can process a huge stream of information and get only the most relevant results.īoolean queries help you to find the best of every search engine request, and using them is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.Īs you know Boolean search is based on logical operators: AND, OR “|”, “+” “-“, site:, inurl:, filetype:, intitle:, intext.

This means that your boolean queries have lost a lot of terms/skills while searching through Google. Of course there are others and always new ones being developed everyday.Have you ever seen a warning message while sourcing candidates with Google Search “ Word (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.”?Ī Boolean query cannot exceed 32 words.
