Does Agent Ransack use multiple CPU cores?

Question

Do you use multiple processors if they are available, as on a dual or quad machine? Is there any way to specify the processor behavior on such machines?

Answer 1

Yes, Agent Ransack can search using multiple search threads and therefore take advantage of multi-processor and multi-core CPUs. In the Configuration->Performance settings you can switch on/off the multi-threading behaviour.

FileLocator Pro offers a few more configuration options, such as specifying specific thread numbers.
