hi guys, can this be used as global site search or is this something else? The global search was removed in a previous version and for all I can find it has not been replaced. Do you have any suggestions for decent global search, if one exists, as it says here on moodle.org that the global search was to be rewritten for version 2.4 but there is no mention of it in the release notes. Running 2.2 by the way. cheers. Steve

Hi Steve,
MDL-31989 is the issue where Global Search is being re-written. it wasn't completed nor ready for 2.4.

This plugin isn't a site wide search although it does seem to allow other plugins to be searched via a callback.

Aparup is right. This is not a global site search but rather a course search. It can search into any modules, even third party modules, as long as the third party modules follow Moodle coding guidlines which have a name filed and intro or content field.

Hi! I am testing this out on our test server. I really like the concept. Is there a way to have it be more robust in what it searches - I'd love it to search forum content, content within an activity...It seems to just bring up main search content and I think this would be ultimately frustrating for students...please advise if there is a way to tweak it.

it works good with version 2.6.0, I tested it !!!

Hi, I have exactly the same trouble as vinoth kannan - has anyone found a solution to this bug?

Thanks.

The plugin only accepts one single keyword and doesn't find documents within folders, is that right?

Hi,

Can this be used as a search from course text? E.g. if I want to ppl to be able to do search from course start page and the results will be from within that course.

Thanks in advance.

Existe alguna versión para 2.8?

Is there no search tool available for version 2.9? I too need to search inside a course.
