Mercury Search
New Mercury Search Update
As you know, version 33 of Mercury sees New Mercury Search becoming the only Search experience within Mercury. Here are the latest developments.
Search CV text
CV content is now indexable, making it easier to surface relevant candidate information. This will be live for all customers by the end of April.
Search in context
You are now able to open search in the context of the entity you are in. Here’s what happens when you select:
- Search Candidate from Contact record – opens Search Candidate view with suggested vacancies
- Search Client Contact from Contact record – opens Search Client Contact view
- Search Candidate from Vacancy – works in the same way as “Match to Vacancy”
- Search from a Hot List – opens Search with the Hot List filter applied.
Saved searches
Please note - if you currently have any saved searches in Legacy Search they will not be migrated over to New Search. Therefore, you will need to recreate them in the new interface. If you would like more information about this, please raise a ticket via the support portal.
Other updates
- The match rating column now shows as default on the list view of search.
- We have improved how special characters are handled so you can use them in your search terms.
Mercury Core
New Look
Just over a year ago, Microsoft made the "New Look" available to Power Platform users, surfacing the latest Microsoft Fluent Design-based elements for a "modern, refreshed look".
The release of V33 will see Mercury fully adopting the New Look functionality. It will roll out as part of the release and the New Look toggle will be removed.
Please note, we have extensively tested the New Look feature since it was made available and it is purely aesthetic in nature with no changes to functionality, and more information will be available in the release notes for v33.

Why technology is now a valuation essential
Today, enterprise value (EV) is no longer just shaped by revenue and margin, it’s determined by how tech-enabled, scalable, and future-proof your business model is. Investors and acquirers are looking under the hood. If they find a traditional, manual operation with no clear tech roadmap, they’re walking away or knocking your valuation down.

How Mercury helps you reduce Microsoft Dataverse storage costs
As more recruitment businesses move towards becoming tech-led and data-rich, many are turning their attention to the cost of data storage.
What was once a background cost can now quickly snowball, especially if your team logs thousands of emails, calls, and updates every week. Data storage platforms have increased the cost of additional database storage, and for some, this can lead to spiralling monthly bills.
But it doesn’t have to. Click the button below to read the full article. 👇
