Everything you need to know about Google X-Ray Boolean search, regional title syntax, privacy compliance, and sourcing automation.

A Google X-Ray search string is a highly targeted, advanced search query that utilizes specific Google operators to force search engines to index only specific parts of a target website—such as public professional profiles on LinkedIn, GitHub, or Naukri.com. HR Mapper constructs these complex strings algorithmically. You simply input job titles, target companies, locations, and mandatory keywords. Our engine formats them into syntactically flawless Boolean strings with proper parentheses nesting, negative exclusions (-jobs -inurl:pulse), and site-level target parameters.

Sample Boolean Syntax

site:linkedin.com/in ("HR Manager" OR "HRBP" OR "Head TA") "TCS" "Bengaluru" -jobs -dir

Key Takeaways:✓ site: operator✓ intitle: operator✓ Negative exclusions
