Is this function possible at all? Searching by Topic or Content

Good afternoon fellow Moodlers, 

I came up with an idea this morning that would really help my learners, but before suggesting it, it felt so obvious I was thinking that it may already exist.  

I have a number of courses, I have developed with my team, and inside each course we have listed a number of documents and resources, video tutorials and much more as activities.  

Is it possible for a learner to arrive at the Moodle home screen, click into Search and then type what they are looking for as a topic name.  For example: 

How do I login to the Sunrise Clinical System?

Upon clicking the GO button to execute the search.  Moodle responds with a list of all courses where that topic reference is available.  They then click the topic and acquire the knowledge (open a document, watch a demo video etc...).

Does such functionality exist in Moodle v 3.6 already.

Many thanks in advance.
