We have two databases in two lessons of the same course. Some of the fields in the databases are common - same field names and same content.
Can we search for content which meets search criteria on common fields across the two databases?
I will just move your post now...
Yes, it can. Feel free to add whatever content to your DatabaseS and Moodle Database filter will link to them automatically.
Actually, it is not about database number, you can have as many databases as you need in the same Moodle course. It is not about fields name either, you can name them anything, same or not.
It is about the actual 'word'. Moodle will filter the Word itself and link to it.
But, if you enter the same Word to 2 Databases, rather than display BOTH, it only displays the first one, the one exists earlier, not the WORD entered earlier, it is the DATABASE which was created earlier! The older Database is, the wiser, include any new-born Word in it.
Thank you William for your brief, yet complete response.
Our problem is that we wish to search for a word in multiple databases and view all the entries that contain that word. For ex., say Australia, is mentioned in two or more databases - one in history database and the other in the database for Geography and we want to search for Australia. We wish to see multiple entries which contain the word Australia in both databases; how can we do that?
Thank you for your help,

Hi Rajendra,
Sorry, I don't think that is possible.
If your 2 databases have some similar fields, you may try to combine them together.
Then, the search task may be easier. See guide here:
