has anyone manage to implement some type of search box on moodle that searches inside every course the student is enrolled?
i've found this https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Global_Search
but seems that is still a proposal to get it working.
I know there is an option of using Google CSE but we can't open our website to google without opening the entire site to the world...
So i was actually looking for a inside moodle solution.
Cheers,

There are a few different tools floating around that use Solr - it's not as simple as adding a plugin to your Moodle site and requires a bit of setup on the server side.
here's one from the plugins db:

Another example is the UNICEF site (http://agora.unicef.org) which uses a custom solution based on SOLR - It allows users to search "available courses" which is not really the same as "enrolled courses" and it's current view only displays top level course information rather than drilled down to the individual file level.
Drop me an e-mail if you're looking for someone to help you set something up (see my profile for my affiliations etc)
