From version 33 of the Core release of Mercury (currently scheduled for April 2025) Legacy Search will no longer be available to use, and New Search will be the only Mercury Search experience.
A year in the making and with its own dedicated Development team who are constantly looking at how to source the very best Candidate search results. This new version will deliver an instant improvement and impact in terms of speed and performance, combined with a brand new highly intuitive user interface to ensure greater user adoption. Your priceless internal database is the first place that you'll start with every new search.
Built on an underlying architecture that will unlock the potential of Microsoft’s AI capabilities, allowing for further development and even greater functionality. This solution will be continually developed over time to include areas such as Contact and Vacancy searching.
Built on Azure AI Search (formerly Azure Cognitive Search – ACS):
- Azure AI Search is an AI-powered information retrieval platform that enables the build of far richer search experiences and generative AI apps that combine large language models (LLMs) with enterprise data.
- Vastly improved performance when dealing with more complex queries and large data sets.
- Greater data consistency as it no longer uses distributed architecture, meaning more consistent results, especially in situations where data is updated frequently.
- No long delays before you see your latest data surfaced in the search results.
- Fully configured search service with intuitive user experiences such as scoring, faceting, suggestions, synonyms, and geo-search.
