Welcome to the new Quick search experience!

We're improving the search experience on the platform so you can search and find your content more easily.

The new Quick search experience introduces:

• A new search engine for improved relevancy
• A new search bar with a modern layout
• Chips to quickly filter the search results by category
• A new search results page where you can:
  • filter content by type (internal/external courses, paths, program sessions, classrooms, users, groups, learning needs, activities), skill and language;
  • open courses, paths, program sessions and classes, directly in their edition screen, or add them to playlists.

Opt in

Opting in allows you to test out the new Quick search experience and share your feedback. Your feedback will help us build the best search experience for you.

You can use the search bar to search for courses, paths, program sessions, users, groups, learning needs, and activities.

Search for content within a group

If you’re clicking on the search bar from the context of a group (a group is selected in the left sidebar), the search will be restricted to content within that group:

• Courses shared in the catalog of the group.
• Paths shared in the catalog of the group, or with a session where the group is enrolled.
• Program sessions assigned to the group.
• Classrooms in path sessions or program sessions corresponding to the criteria just above.
• Subgroups of the current gorup.
• Users of the current group or subgroups.
• Learning needs owned by the group.
• Activities of courses shared in the catalog of the group.

You can click on the X at the right of the group name in the search bar to remove it.
