>_ HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01
Describe your target to the copilot
Job title, company, location, keywords — say it in one sentence or type it field by field. The copilot maps each piece to the right Google operator and fills the form for you.
STEP 02
Refine out loud
Say things like "add SNCF competitors", "less senior", "exclude consultants" — the copilot updates the query live and shows you exactly which form fields it touched.
STEP 03
Open in Google
One click on Open in Google sends your query straight to Google search. You don't need a LinkedIn account — Google returns the publicly indexed profiles that match.
tipX-Ray surfaces what Google has publicly indexed. Profiles set to private won't show up. The copilot encodes locations using LinkedIn's display formats ("Grand Est", "Greater Paris Metropolitan Area") so Google can match them on profiles.
You need to find people on LinkedIn, but the free site caps your searches and hides its better filters behind Recruiter. X-Ray sidesteps that: Google has already indexed most public LinkedIn profiles, so you ask Google instead. No search quota, no LinkedIn account, and you can stack operators the site never exposes.
Describe your target to the copilot in plain language — “senior Rust engineers currently at Stripe, near Paris, no recruiters” — and it maps each piece to the right Google operator and fills the form. Say “Stripe” with Current only and it writes intitle: to keep profiles still at the company; switch to Ex (poaching) and it builds "Stripe" -intitle:"Stripe" to surface alumni who left. A finished query reads like site:linkedin.com/in/ ("Software Engineer") intitle:"Stripe" ("Rust" OR "Go"). One click on Open in Google runs it.
Every field stays editable, so you can lean on the copilot or type Boolean by hand — AND / OR / NOT, quotes, parentheses, plus AROUND(N) for proximity and intext: to pin a location in the profile body.
One honest limit: X-Ray only surfaces what Google has publicly indexed, so profiles set to private won’t show up. And inanchor: (the experimental Headline field) is handled irregularly by Google — pair it with a real job title for stable results. Locations use LinkedIn’s display formats like “Greater Paris Metropolitan Area” so Google can match them.
