Search

One search box across your lessons, library, flashcards and notes — entitlement-scoped, case-insensitive, with every result deep-linking straight to the item.

Search is a single box that looks across everything you are studying at once. Type a term and CLIP Learn searches four places in parallel — your lessons, the library, your flashcards and your own notes — then groups the matches so you can jump straight to the right one. You only ever see things you are entitled to: lessons and cards from the courses you are enrolled on, library materials for your tenant (or ones you generated yourself), and your own private notes.

Search lives at /app/search. Open it from the search icon (a magnifying glass) in the top bar, to the left of the notifications bell. The page opens with the cursor already in the box, so you can start typing immediately.

A learner tool

The search icon in the top bar is shown to candidates. Signed in as a learner, you will always find it there — there is nothing to switch on.

Type a term. Enter a word or phrase — for example directors' duties, Salomon or quorum. You need at least two characters; a single character returns nothing.
Press Search. Hit the Search button or your Enter key. The page reloads with your term in the address bar (/app/search?q=…), so a search is a real, shareable, bookmarkable URL.
Scan the groups. Results come back grouped by source — Lessons, Library, Flashcards and Your notes — each with its own count.
Open a result. Click any row to go straight to that item. A small arrow on the right of each row marks it as a link.

Matching is case-insensitive, so SALOMON, Salomon and salomon all find the same thing. Each result shows a short snippet centred on where your term appears, with the surrounding words for context.

What each group searches

Every source is matched across several fields, so a term can hit a title, a body, a topic or a tag.

LessonsLesson title, summary and contentThe lesson itself, inside its course
LibraryResource title, description, content and tagsThe resource page, its file, or its external link
FlashcardsCard front, back and topicThe Flashcards page
Your notesThe note's textYour Notes page

The context line under each result tells you where it sits — a lesson shows its course and module, a library item shows whether it is Official · CGI, Made by CLIP or Yours, a flashcard shows its topic, and a note is labelled Your note.

What you can and cannot see (scoping)

Search never shows you anything you are not entitled to. Each source is scoped independently.

SourceYou seeYou do not see
LessonsPublished lessons in the courses you are actively enrolled onDraft or unpublished lessons, and lessons from courses you are not enrolled on
LibraryPublished resources for your tenant (official CGI and CLIP-made), plus materials you generated yourselfUnpublished resources, or another tenant's materials
FlashcardsPublished cards from your enrolled courses, plus a small set of legacy global cardsDraft cards, or cards tied to courses you are not on
NotesOnly your own notesAnyone else's notes — notes are always private

An enrolment counts as active if it has no expiry date, or its expiry date is in the future. Once an enrolment lapses, that course's lessons and flashcards drop out of your results.

No tenant, no results

Search runs within your organisation (tenant). If your account is not yet attached to one, the page returns nothing until it is.

Reading the results

Above the groups, a line reports the total — for example 12 results for "quorum". Within each group, results are ordered with the most recently updated first (flashcards by most recently created).

Each group shows at most 8 matches. If a term is very common and a source has more than eight hits, you will see the eight most recent — narrow your term to surface the rest. Groups with no matches are hidden entirely, so you only ever see the sources that actually contain your term.

Where a result takes you

Most results deep-link precisely:

  • Lessons open the exact lesson within its course.
  • Library items open their own resource page where one exists; otherwise they open the linked file or external URL (external links open in a new tab).
  • Flashcards open the Flashcards page, where you can find the card in its deck.
  • Notes open your Notes page.

The empty state

If nothing matches, the page shows a clean placeholder: No matches for "…", with the suggestion to try a shorter term, a key phrase, or a topic name. Because a search needs two characters, a single-character term lands here too. Before you have searched anything, the page simply invites you to type a term above to search everything you're studying.
