Question Bank: Search
When searching in the question bank, you will find question items in the pool or the list you are currently in. It is not possible to search for items across multiple pools.
Search
With the input field above the question list you quickly find questions by a keyword. The search looks through the title, topic, keywords, coverage and additional information of the questions. Upper and lower case do not matter.
| Input | Finds questions in which one of these fields |
|---|---|
| Indicati | contains the term at any position, for example Indication or Contraindication |
| Hello World | contains exactly this sequence of words at any position |
| Indication* | begins with Indication |
| *indication | ends with indication |
| "Hello World" | consists exactly of Hello World |
" * " serves as a placeholder for any number of further characters. If the input begins or ends with " * ", OpenOlat only searches further at this position, otherwise at both ends of the term.
Search filters
The search filters narrow down the question list by individual pieces of information. They are shown when the list opens and can be combined with the search and with each other.
By default, OpenOlat shows among others the filters "Title", "Author", "Type", "Test type", "Status" and "Max. score", depending on the configuration also "Subject" and "Level". Further filters such as "Topic", "Keywords", "Language" or "Format" are also available. The filters correspond to the metadata of a question that the page Question bank: Details of a question and metadata describes.
