XRay & Top Level Domain Searches

XRay is a technique that uses the site: command to
bring back results only from one Web page.

This sourcing technique helps recruiters quickly find
information from a Web page, only brings back results
that they would want to see and finds hidden pages.

Top level domain XRay searches just the top level
extension of a Web page: .de, .me, .nhs.uk, .com
