Description

This extension is a Tool that students/staff can access to search for text within a course. The extension will allow the user to choose whether to search folder names, item names, and/or item description fields. Full regular expressions are supported for search strings. The results are returned as a list of page links. Each page link also has associated information on the number of matches found on that page, and its position in the course.
