Search function in Tutor

[TNS_FX1838 (TNS)]

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with the search function in Tutor, as the search results are not what I expected. I would like someone to explain to me how the search function in Tutor works so that I can find a way to troubleshoot the problem I’m experiencing.

I don’t think Tutor has a search function. Do you mean searching for courses in the LMS (Open edX LMS)? Or searching for text among courses in the Open edX LMS? Or searching the forum posts?

Hello @braden

My intention is to search for text among courses in the Open edX LMS,but it provides incomplete results.

Does this documentation help?

• Searching for courses: 4.7. Enabling Open edX Search — Installing, Configuring, and Running the Open edX Platform documentation (does not search content of the course)
• Searching within a single course: 6.3.7. Course Search — Building and Running an Open edX Course documentation and 16. Searching the Course — Open edX Learner's Guide documentation (does search content of a single course)

I don’t think there is any way to search for text among all courses at the same time.

@braden

I don’t think there is any way to search for text among all courses at the same time.

Under the first link you provided, there is the ENABLE_DASHBOARD_SEARCH feature flag, which allows searching in all enrolled courses.
