We have developed observational and data processing techniques for detecting millisecond pulsars. The method of data processing consists in correlating time series of data by folding them in two steps according to a trial period. While very time consuming, especially for very short periods, this methods allows us in principle to detect very fast and dispersed millisecond pulsars. The experimental set-up has been integrated into a data acquisition system developed at Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES). Observations of known millisecond pulsars at Nançay radio observatory are used to validate the system and assess the sensitivity of the survey, which is 3.5 mJy for 240 sec of integration. Future improvements in the radio-telescope and the system should bring it down to below 1 mJy. The application of the method to a millisecond pulsar survey is under way at Nançay radio observatory in collaboration between the Bureau international des poids et mesure (BIPM), Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (OMP), and CNES.
