Windows Desktop Search for searching CVs
Recruit Studio uses the Windows Desktop Search tool for CV searching.
You need to have the tool installed on the PC that holds the database and it
needs to be configured to search the correct folders.
Only do this step if you are using Windows XP. If you are using Windows Vista, move on to step
3. Click 'Run' when prompted and follow the installation wizard.
Only do this installation on the PC that holds the database.

magnifying glass nearest to the time.
