Search is a full-text search for the given words listing Articles with titles that match first, then articles with matches in the main body of the text.

Note that this search method currently ignores words of three letters or less.

Searching MoodleDocs and Moodle.org forums with Google

The search box at the top right of the Moodle.org homepage will search both the contents of the Moodle.org forums and the MoodleDocs wiki at the same time. This search is powered by Google which has some unique search features but this means the results are not updated immediately when the content changes.
