Hi Booleaners and Irina

Proposal for standardizing our chats here.... making it instantly useful.

Since
- this is a discussion forum about boolean strings that normally are entered into a search engine,
- and since we are not restricting our discussion to one search engine
- and since we know that certain commands acceptable in one search engine are not acceptable in another
- and there are cases where a search string on one search engine gives a different result to the same string in another
- and there is a need to differentiate user input and commands, as some may not know which is a search command and what is a user input
- and we want to be able to easily cut-n-paste the strings into the search engine

can we agree, for the sake clearer communication on a format for communication of strings. One proposal

Search_Engine_Name
[User Input} Search_String

Google
[enter_Keywords] [enter_location] (intitle:"resume for" OR intitle:"resume of") -intitle:example -intitle:examples -intitle:sample -intitle:submit

We can agree that the required user input will always come in the front of the search string, making it easier to read, understand and use. And whatever comes after the string can be pasted ASIS,

This will help beginners use the strings quickly.
It will enable experts to quickly review and comment on the scripts.

Another thing the poster can do to help, is provide a concrete example with a tiny url link. This will help tremendously. So here is how it would look

Google
[enter_Keywords] [enter_location] (intitle:"resume for" OR intitle:"resume of") -intitle:example -intitle:examples -intitle:sample -intitle:submit

Example search for [C++ JavaScript] [CA]

Below is a Linked In Hack that works great-

Type this entire link below in the Google toolbar... This will allow you to search outside of your network.

site:www.linkedin.com intitle:linkedin YOUR KEYWORDS HERE -intitle:answers -intitle:updated -intitle:blog -intitle:directory -inurl:jobs -inurl:megite.com

It is recommended to add a mix of related job titles or companies, and even geographic locations, to target results. Example:
site:www.linkedin.com intitle:linkedin (microsoft OR amazon) evangelist "greater seattle area" -intitle:answers -intitle:updated -intitle:blog -intitle:directory -inurl:jobs -inurl:megite.com
