Question bank filter name plugin

Filter questions in question bank using question name and text.

Plugin adds new filter to question bank which allows to search questions with given phrase. Plugin supports searching multiple phrases in question name and optionally also in question text. Plugin is integrated with all three condition types (join types): All, Any and None.

This plugin is designed for Moodle 4.3, 4.4 and newer versions.

Motivation for this plugin

In moodle 4.3, there has been a redesign of the filtering/searching UI in the question bank. Now the filters in the question bank are based on the core filter API, which is also used on the course participant page. As a result of this redesign, the local_searchquestions plugin that allowed searching questions by name is not compatible with moodle 4.3 or higher. The qbank_filtername is therefore a kind of replacement for the local_searchquestions plugin. The qbank_filtername plugin is integrated with the new filter UI in the question bank and extends the question search functionality taking advantage of the core API for filters.

Installation

Install the plugin like any other qbank plugin to folder /question/bank/filtername
