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. |

What is Course Search?
With Course Search, authors can conduct searches for content in Studio. Searches can be conducted within a single course, or across multiple courses. Results turn up at all levels of the course content, including individual component blocks, units, subsections and sections.

Details
1. Search Bar
Search bar: The search bar is accessible from the top header in Studio, via the search icon. It can be accessed from Studio Home or via any Course Outline Page.
...
When accessed via Studio Home, searches are automatically conducted across all courses that the user has staff access to. When accessed via a Course Page, the user has the option to conduct the search within that course or to expand the search to all courses.
...
2. Search Refinements
Search refinements can be applied after a search has been conducted, in order to refine the results. Refinements can also be used without search terms, so users can effectively apply filters across all of their content.
...
By tag: Refine your content or your search results by tag. If multiple tags are chosen as refinements, only content which matches all of the selected tags will be shown in the search results (that is, the tags are using an AND filter). For more information on tagging, see Content Tagging Release Notes.

3. Search Results
Search Results are displayed based on relevance. Each result contains a link out that takes the user directly to the content, in a new tab. Results also contain breadcrumbs to provide context for which course the content is coming from, and where in the course it can be found.

4. Advanced Operators
In the search keywords field, you can use "double quotes" to search for an exact phrase. For example, a simple search for Adam Smith would include results with text like “Adam Sandler and Will Smith co-starred in...”. To make the search more specific, use double quotes (i.e. "Adam Smith") so that only results with that exact phrase will be included.
You can also use negative keywords: a search for Homer might return results relating to both a Greek poet and a yellow cartoon character. But a search for Homer -Simpson will exclude any results that include the word “Simpson.”
