Jobvention Boolean Search String Generator

Another quick and easy tool to use for helping you to generate a fairly tight Boolean Search. It’s a great tool but you need to be cognizant that this is a generator and not a master. The tool itself is hosted on site and functions almost identical to the advanced search in any of the major search engines.

We like this tool because it’s free and takes the guess work out of Boolean search creation for those that may not be able to create searches on their own.

Here is how it works:

  1. Enter your search criteria
  2. Jobvention builds the search and off you go
