Where is searching "Global Search"

Where is searching "Global Search"

I have a real problem: I activated the "Global search block", it has now the field for searching, but I don't understand where it looks for words? I create some courses and I want my students to look for information inside them. And if I write, for example: "shear" in the field, and my course is about types of connections, it is no capable to find inside the course the name: "shear connection".  Could anybody explain to me exactly how it works? I have moodle 2.1

And another question: why I am not able to search a word in "category name", and just in "courses name"?

All this searches are very important in my type of courses I create!

Global search has been removed from 2.2 onwards because it didn't work very well. It might be best not to invest much time in it on your 2.1 site.
