What can you do with Quick find list?
Like the Quick Find List, this block displays a search box on the page, but instead of searching through users, searches through Courses. Courses that match the search string can be displayed as:
- shortname
- fullname
- Shortname + fullname
- Fullname + Startdate course
- Fullname + Course Category name
- Shortname + Fullname + Course Category name
Searching course can be done on shortname, Fullname, Course IDnumber.
If Javascript is available, the block will "Find as you type", otherwise a button will be displayed to submit the search.
Will there be a version of this block for Moodle version x.x?
If you'd like to use this block on a later version than the latest release says is supported, try it and see if it works. There's usually no changes that would affect this block, so it's better to try it and let me know if there's a problem than to ask me if/when there will be an update.
If you want to ensure yourself of a new release, please contact (sales@ltnc.nl) for more information on how you can contribute to the maintaince of this plugin.

I've created an bug on the Github page for this problem:
https://github.com/marxjohnson/moodle-block_quickcourselist/issues/1
Please can you comment on the bug with a bit more information about your environment - server platform, which database and web server you're using etc?
I like this block too but wonder if it is also possible to search for the teacher? Do you think that's possible?
Greetings,
Birgit
am I right that it is "only" possible to use the plugin for admins? Would be great if I had the possibility to add it for all kinds of roles, even students.
Greetings
You can override the title using Moodle's Language Customisation tool. Just override the "quickcourselist" string for the "block_quickcourselist" component.
I've added your second request to the issue tracker.
Birgit,
Searching for teachers is possible using the Quick Find List block. It is similar to this but searches users, and allows you to configure a role to search for.
Julia,
Anyone can use the block, you just need to give them the block/quickfindlist:use capability.
Can you please give some more details?
Somehow I still can't get this block to work. If I login as a teacher or admin I can see the block in a course, but if I login as a student in a course the block is not displayed for some reason. I also checked the permissions (which are set that students may see this block) but still no success - any help would be much appreciated!
Just to check the permissions - there's a system level capability called quickcourselist:use which users will need to have to use the block, even if they have the block-level permission to view the instance of the block. If you want everyone to be able to use the block, I'd suggest giving the quickcourselist:use capability to the Authenticated User system role.
where exactly do I find this "quickcourselist:use" - can I do this as the admin on the moodle platform or do I have to change some php-code?
I'm on 2.3.1+ by the way
You just need to use the Moodle admin interface to assign the capability to the role, under Site Administration->Users->Permissions->Define Roles. If you need help using this interface, your best bet is to read the Documentation[1] and ask in the forums[2]

Thank you very much indeed - got it to work now - I love this block by the way!!
Cheers,
Thomas
