Bing X-Ray Search Strings

A Bing X-Ray that uses inbody: to match terms inside the page body — Bing's documented equivalent of Google's intext: — which surfaces profiles whose terms sit below the fold. This guide carries the syntax rules, a worked example, and one page per cluster with a ready-to-paste string for every role.

One brief, one Bing string

Run this string on Bing

inbody: is a Bing operator, so this string only runs on Bing. No key, no quota — the search opens in your browser.

Bing X-Ray syntax rules

  1. 1

    inbody: matches the page text

    Microsoft documents inbody: as a keyword that returns pages containing the term in the body. It is the operator that finds a profile whose skills sit under an unrelated headline.

    Documented by the platform

  2. 2

    One dialect per string

    Combine inbody: with plain Boolean and Bing's own operators only. A string that mixes Bing operators with Google-only syntax cannot be read reliably by either engine.

    Our convention — not platform-documented

  3. 3

    Bing's coverage differs from Google's

    The same terms rank differently on Bing, so an X-Ray that saturates on Google can still return fresh profiles here. Run both when a search stops producing new names.

    Our convention — not platform-documented

Bing search FAQs

What is a Bing Boolean search string?

It is a search written in Bing X-Ray's own grammar — A Bing X-Ray that uses inbody: to match terms inside the page body — Bing's documented equivalent of Google's intext: — which surfaces profiles whose terms sit below the fold. The inbody: marker is what identifies the dialect when you paste it.

Which roles does the Bing guide cover?

Six clusters, one page each: Legal, Finance, Sales, Store Managers, Marketing, Operations. Every in-scope cluster has a Bing X-Ray page with one string per role, built from that role's own titles and skills.

Why does the same brief need a different string per platform?

Because the search boxes parse different grammars. A Bing X-Ray string is written for Bing; pasting it into a platform that reads another dialect — or pasting an ATS string here — is the most common reason a search silently returns nothing.

Other dialects

ATS BooleanPlain Boolean only — parenthesized OR groups joined with AND — the shape Greenhouse documents and the conservative subset for ATS boxes that publish nothing.LinkedIn X-RayA Google/Bing X-Ray that opens with site:linkedin.com/in/ and appends quoted Boolean groups over the text of the public profile page.Naukri RMSNaukri's box takes Boolean; this dialect adds title(), skill(), exp() and location() — a field-code layer this product writes, not a Naukri-published syntax.Indeed ResumeIndeed documents plain Boolean; this dialect adds a title:(...) filter of our own, and leaves location to the resume filter.CV X-RayA Google/Bing X-Ray for public CV and résumé documents: intitle: (reported, not documented) and filetype: (documented), then the role's terms.
