What is a Boolean search string?
A Boolean search string combines keywords with operators like AND, OR, and NOT to narrow or broaden a search. Recruiters use Boolean strings on LinkedIn, Google X-Ray, job boards, and GitHub to find candidates with specific skills, titles, and locations.
How do I search LinkedIn with Boolean?
Paste the Boolean string into the LinkedIn keyword search box. Use quotes around multi-word terms (e.g., "product manager"), AND to require terms, OR to allow alternatives, NOT to exclude, and parentheses to group logic.
What is Google X-Ray search?
Google X-Ray (or X-Ray search) uses Google's site: operator to search a specific domain. For example, site:linkedin.com/in "product manager" "Sydney" returns LinkedIn profiles matching those terms — even ones you would not see inside LinkedIn without Recruiter.
