The Redwood Release includes a beta release of the new Course Search feature. Course Search enables course authors to conduct searches within a course, or across courses, to find content. While it is in Beta, Course Search is not enabled by default, but Operators can choose to enable it. See here for more details about how to enable.

Info

Consult with your IT team to determine if the new technology that powers Course Search, known as Meilisearch, can be installed on your Open edX environment. If you encounter reasons why it cannot be installed, we’d love to learn more - please reach out in the discussion forums or in the #wg-product-core Slack channel.

If it can be, we encourage you to use this feature and provide your feedback to the Open edX community in the discussion forums or in the #wg-product-core Slack channel. This feature is in beta and hasn’t yet seen widespread testing, so you may encounter bugs, unexpected behavior, or incomplete results. However, we are confident that, even if you encounter a bug or two, that overall this feature will enhance your use of Open edX Studio.
