Copyright 2011 The Open University


This is a cross-database indexed text-search facility.

It does not do anything on its own, but if you install it alongside
ForumNG, OU blog, or OU wiki then it will provide full text search for
those modules.

need assistance, try the relevant forum on moodle.org.

Bug reports:

Please report bugs to the Moodle Tracker using the 'contributed code' project
and 'Block: OU search' component. Under Version, please select your Moodle

community for testing on other systems.
