Build LinkedIn Boolean search strings and Google X-Ray queries to find jobs and companies that standard search misses — no login required
Job hunting on LinkedIn usually means typing a job title into the search bar and scrolling through whatever the algorithm decides to surface. Recruiters figured out decades ago that a plain keyword search barely scratches the surface — they use Boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT, quoted phrases) to search the full text of a posting or profile instead of a handful of predefined fields, and that technique is exactly why sourcers can find roles and people a normal search misses entirely. Job seekers have mostly never had access to the same trick, either because the syntax is unfamiliar or because most Boolean tools online are built for recruiters, not for the person actually looking for work. This generator flips that: build your search from tag chips, toggles, and quick-add presets, and get back a correctly formatted Boolean string and a Google X-Ray query together — no syntax to memorise. Add one or more job titles as tags and choose whether they should be combined with OR (match any of them) or AND (match all). Pick a target region from preset chips covering MENA, GCC, and a dozen other markets, or type any custom location. Then split your skills into two lists: must-have skills that every result should mention (joined with AND) and nice-to-have skills that are a bonus rather than a requirement (joined with OR) — quick-add chips for common titles and skills mean you rarely have to type from scratch. A live Search Strength meter scores how targeted your query is and tells you the single next field that would improve it most, so you're never guessing whether a search is too broad or too narrow. Clicking Generate produces two ready-to-use strings at once. The LinkedIn Boolean string is formatted for LinkedIn's own free search bar — no Premium subscription or Recruiter seat required, since Boolean operators work in the standard search everyone already has. The Google X-Ray query uses Google's site:linkedin.com/in/ operator to search Google's full index of public LinkedIn pages instead — useful for researching who currently holds a target title at a target company, surfacing people and details LinkedIn's own search sometimes buries. Both come with a one-click launch button straight into LinkedIn or Google, plus a copy button for pasting elsewhere. Every generated search is also saved to Recent Searches in your own browser (never a server or account), so you can revisit and restore a past search in one click, and a curated Popular Searches list gives new users a fast starting point. Job seekers in competitive fields get the most value from correctly formatted Boolean strings without needing to learn operator syntax, though recruiters, sourcers, and freelancers benefit from the exact same mechanism aimed at candidate profiles instead of postings. Everything runs locally in your browser — no account, no search caps, and unlimited use.
⚠️ Too broad — add more detailAdd a region to jump to 25%+
Must-have vs. nice-to-have skills — Separate fields for non-negotiable skills (AND) and bonus skills (OR), so results are neither too broad nor so strict they return nothing.
Region presets for MENA, GCC & beyond — One-click region chips expand to the right set of location terms behind the scenes — or type any custom city or country instead.
Search Strength meter — A live completeness score with a dynamic hint tells you exactly which field to fill in next for a noticeably more targeted search.
Quick-add title & skill chips — Popular job titles and skills are one click away — no typing required to get started.
Recent Searches, saved locally — Every generated search is saved to your own browser so you can restore and rerun it later — no account, nothing sent to a server.
