Activity tagging: A new setting when adding activities and resources lets you tag them so they may be searched for by others in Site pages > Tags.
Search everywhere: If enabled by your administrator, the Global search feature lets you search courses you have access to, from a box next to the user menu or from the Global search block
Search for and add multiple meta linked courses: If the Course meta link enrolment method is enabled for you, you can search for the course or courses you need and add them in one single step.
Activities
