💡 Tips for Smarter Searches

New to Boolean search? Start simple by using "OR" to group similar job titles (e.g. "Designer" OR "Creative Director"), "AND" to combine key skills (e.g. "Figma" AND "UX"), and "NOT" to exclude unwanted terms (e.g. NOT "Intern"). The generator ensures the logic is correctly formatted so your results are sharp and relevant.

🌐 Where Can I Use the Strings?

The Boolean strings you generate here work seamlessly in LinkedIn search, but they're also useful for Google (e.g., "site:linkedin.com/in"), GitHub, job boards, CRM platforms, and even browser extensions that support Boolean logic. It's a versatile tool that fits right into your sourcing workflow.

Advantages of the Upcoming Extension 2.0

Benefit	Why it Matters
🔄 Predictability	Every user gets consistent output — no surprises from the AI interpreting things differently.
🧩 Structured Input	Easier to reuse inputs for filtering, form generation, analytics, or template saving.
🛠️ Custom Rules	You control how the Boolean is built: “strict” vs. “flexible” logic, required terms, etc.
🧑‍💼 User-Friendliness	Especially for recruiters or marketers who don’t want to craft prompts or tweak long strings.
⚙️ Easier Debugging	If something doesn’t work, it’s easier to spot the logic error in rule-based code than in an AI output.
🔐 Less Risk of Nonsense	AI sometimes generates invalid syntax or terms that don’t exist. You avoid that with pre-set values.
