Several search options in special contexts:

Simple search allows searching for content that is stored in the database. The search results are notlimitied to one context. Its posisble to allow for search only in courses a user is enrolled to or in all courses the user can enrole himself | Global Search with SolR will also find search results from files that are used in the courses. The SolR indexing service reads the database and the file content. |
