Search within lessons/units

[toblju]

Probably the best LMS-theme needs a search function that works like a search function should work within a LMS system: Users should be able to search for words and expressions within lessons and units. This is non-existing today. Please like/comment this planned feature if you agree. We should have a search box for finding courses in the catalog and another search box to facilitate the subscribers to look up into the lessons content. The users who are not enrolled into the relevant courses should not be able to search the unauthorized course content. The content of many sites are both text-based and video based or only text based. There will be a lot information and reference materials. The student can find easily what (s)he needs by searching rather than by deducing where it can be. Take for example a subject matter of Geography. (S)he can just search for "Germany" as a keyword and all the lessons featuring Germany will come up as listed. This info is scattered because it is categorized by topics, e.g. location, economic status, history, etc. Some of the info might be in forums, comments, etc. In my opinion, searching in lessons and restrict the search results based on the subscriber/student privileges in a must in e-learning sites. They deal with providing information/knowledge to students and finding it quickly and easily is a key feature.
