Global search will enable you to Moodle it, rather than Google it! The search feature lets you search for content on all modules that you have permission to access.
You can search for your modules, activity information and some activity content like forum posts, Moodle book chapters, glossary entries or collaborative wikis pages. You can also use it to search for content included within uploaded content such as lecture notes or presentations.
Search does not always return content in labels or section summaries.
To use the search function:
- Open search: From any page in Moodle, select the Search icon on the top navigation menu.
- Search term: Enter your Search query in the input field. Select Enter on your keyboard.
- Filter results: To limit the search results, select the Filter to open in. Use the settings in the filter to limit the items returned. For example, if you are using a commonly-used word in Moodle modules you might want to restrict your search to a particular module.
- Select Search.
- Review results: You can now review your results and then select results that you want to view. Select the link to the title of the search result to view it.
- If no results are returned, select Dashboard from the top navigation menu to return to your Dashboard.
