What is a Boolean search?

A Boolean search combines keywords with operators. OR accepts any of several terms, so “Backend Engineer” OR “Backend Developer” catches both titles. Quotation marks keep a phrase together, and a minus sign (or NOT on LinkedIn) removes results that contain a word.

What is X-ray searching?

X-ray searching uses Google’s site: operator to search inside one website. Many employers post roles on applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. Searching those sites directly can surface listings that never reach the big job boards, and the same technique finds public LinkedIn profiles without a premium account.

Tips for better results

  • Start broad with two or three title variations, then add skills one at a time.
  • Keep queries under 32 words; Google drops the rest without telling you.
  • Use Google’s Tools menu to limit results to the past week when you only want fresh listings.
  • Check the listing’s date and location restrictions before applying. Job pages can stay indexed after a role closes.
