Using the "host" command to xray generally works on AltaVista, though as Sandeep mentions, not very well on other search engines.

Hi All,

I'm interested to see if anyone out there is having much success targeting Facebook using the site command etc...?

I find this works well on Myspace but not so good on Facebook.

Would love to see the commands and strings you have success with.

Regards
Martin.

I have never used either resumegrabber or resumefinder, does anyone have any experience?

I'm open to the best practices on this string people.

using "host" while x-raying does not give very effective results on many search engines.

For rovingrecruiter...
to xray a companies website try the following search string.
[host: www.companywebsite.com "he is" job title or keywords]

By default, Google pulls up docs in the "anytime" time frame. If you want to see a specific time frame use this in the URL after you run your query in Google to get a time range drop down window.

&as_qdr=d

So for example you run a string on Google:
(image.processing C++ algorithm pattern.recognition x-ray) (ext:pdf | ext:doc | ext:rtf) ~resume -~jobs

and you get your smattering of results. Now before you click on any individual links for those results - just go to the top of the URL on this results page and drop this syntax

&as_qdr=d

right after the last character in the url, no spaces and hit search again.

This enables a dropdown window with the ability to search for your info within a particular time frame. (runs from Past 24 hours and upto 1 year)

I am trying to get a good search string for oil and gas engineers. Could someone help me out? I would prefer to search the US first.
