About Search

Search allows you and your students to conduct a search for text within any course. Searching is limited to course content, the course Index, and Discussion articles. However, if you do not add the Index tool or the Discussions tool to your course, these options will not appear in the Search drop-down list.

You can add Search to the Course Menu, Homepage or an Organizer Page. For more information, see Add Page or Tool. You can also add Search to the Action Menu of a Content Module. For more information, see Action Menu.
