Clear Button

The clear button removes all text from the text entry area.

Tips Popup

This button displays a quick popup reference for freeform search syntax. Using these search terms will help you to quickly become a power user.

Print Button

Click this button to open the results of your search in the Windows Notepad for easy printing, saving, or export.

Synonym

This button will find all records including your chosen search term, and return a list of other keywords common to those records, with percentages. For example, if you searched for "Manager" and 75 of the 100 records found also contained the word "Cheese," you would be shown "75 | Cheese" in the results window. You could then add this word to your query by clicking on it.

Keywords

Clicking this button will allow you to add skill codes, equipment codes, SIC codes, etc. to your search by selecting them from a menu. You will have the option to add the code itself, the description of the code, or both to your search.

Match Whole Word

When the check is removed from this box, the search engine will find records containing not only your search terms, but all forms of them. For example, if you search "account", you will get all records containing the word "account," but with this box unchecked, you will also be shown all records containing "accountant," "accounting," "accounts," etc.

Do Not Use Index

If this box is unchecked, you will not be shown the search results until all results have been retrieved. When checked, the records will appear in the search results window as they are found.

Return Count

In this field, you may specify the number of records you want to see in the results. The default setting shows the top 25 matches.

Hot Button

As elsewhere in PCRecruiter, the Hot Button will add your selected records to the Rollup List of your choice.

Open/Save Search

The Open Search and Save Search buttons allow you to save the search query you have built for future use. Note that this does not save your search results; if you open a saved search, the results will include any eligible records that have been added since the query was saved.

Filters

You may filter your search results by any of these terms. For example, if you want to find all the engineers in Texas, you would enter "Texas" into the 'State' field before running your search for "Engineers" under the "New" tab.

Find Button

This button will bring up the "Query Builder" for more advanced searching. This search screen will only search through notes (and resumes if searching Names records), but by adding the functionality of the Query Builder, you may add multiple field search terms, such as limiting by state, city, annual revenues, or last name.

Copy Button

"Copy" is something of a misnomer in this case. The button actually will paste the most recent query built in the Query Builder into the advanced search field.

Databases

The database tab allows you to select which databases to include in the search. You may include or exclude databases as you wish using these check boxes.

Run Button

Once you have defined your search terms in the upper tab sections, click "Run" to execute the search. When you click the "Run" button you will be reminded that you have filters engaged. Filters remain active until the "Clear" button is pressed.

Stop Button

If the results you have received so far fit your needs, you may click "Stop" at any time.

File Menu

Use this menu to start a New Rollup List or to Exit the search.

Search Filters

Enter a term into these fields to limit your search. For example, if you wanted to weed out everyone who wouldn't want to relocate for a job, you would put "Y" in the "Relocate" field (find only those who would relocate), and click "Run" to redo the search with the new filter. When you click the "Run" button you will be reminded that you have filters engaged. Filters remain active until the "Clear" button is pressed.

Rolodex Tabs/Find Button

These buttons are not active from the Search or System tabs. You must go to the Names or Companies tabs to use these features.

Auto Matching

If you have created a list of job orders, you may select any job in the list results area (click to highlight it gray) and click this button to automatically paste any job description notes into the Names search window for faster matching of candidates to orders.

The Board Meeting

Who are these people?

List Results Area

This part of the window displays a quick view of the results from the Company, Names, or Job Order list buttons. As with other lists in PCRecruiter, you may click on any item in the list to view it in greater detail.

List: Field Selection

Choose the which field you want to search and enter the term to match in the field to the right. Use the asterisk as a wild card in your listing (i.e. " *er " will find all terms ending in "er").

List: Sort Type

Choose which field you want to sort your list results by, and whether to list them in ascending or descending order.

Advanced

If you have created a search query in the Query Builder, click this button to paste it here for limiting your list results.

OK Button

Click here to create your list.

Cancel Button

Click here to abort the listing.
