X- Ray Sourcing Techniques

1. X-ray search with the site: command to search a particular site.

2. intitle:

3. inurl:

4. filetype:

5. Clean up your results with the minus sign

If you get a bunch of search results that you don’t want, look for a keyword that’s repeated in the unwanted results.

Put the minus sign (-) right before that keyword (no space) and add it to the end of your search string. This eliminates those unwanted items from your search results.

For example, put -job -jobs at the end of your search string to eliminate job postings from your results.

IMPORTANT: NO space between the minus sign and the search term -job

Example - "Machine Learning" “london” AND (inurl:cv OR inurl:resume OR intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) -job -jobs

Lets Try with an example :

"Data Visualization" AND “london” AND (inurl:cv OR inurl:resume OR intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) AND (cv OR “curriculum vitae” OR resume) AND (filetype:doc OR filetype:docx OR filetype:pdf) -job -jobs
