🔧 How to Build a Strong X‑Ray Query
Let’s go through a real scenario: you want SaaS product managers based in Mumbai.
- site:linkedin.com/in: focuses on individual LinkedIn profiles
- intitle:"product manager": finds that title in headlines
- "Mumbai": restricts users in Mumbai
- (SaaS OR "software as a service"): includes either term
- -intern: filters out interns
You can also use wildcards like *, or regional domains like site:in.linkedin.com/in.
