Overview

Atomic Search is a tool that allows you to search your courses for content using specific search terms. It searches pages, files (including their content), discussions, assignments, modules, and even the webpages that external URLs in your course link to.

How to run a course/global search

Atomic Search can be used to search individual courses or all of the courses you have access to. The methods for accessing and using Atomic Search for course-level and global searches are pretty similar. Check out the presentation below to learn more about how to search your courses.

Find & Replace

Atomic Search has an additional feature called Find & Replace which allows for more targeted search, searching of HTML code and bulk replacement of terms. Best practice around the use of Find & Replace is still being determined. Please refer to Atomic Search's guides for instructions on how to use it in the meantime.
