Definition[]

The search-wizard feature of a file-sharing program will search usershard drives and "recommend" that users share folders that contain certain "triggering" file types, which usually include document files, audio files, audiovisual files, and image files.

Overview[]

Some search-wizard features activate automatically; others require the user to trigger them. Some are activated during a program’s installation and setup process; others are an option that a user can activate after the program is installed and running. Some will select identified folders for sharing; others “recommend,” but do not select, identified folders for sharing. All search-wizard features cause recursive sharing of identified or selected folders.
