Search

Schoolbox allows you to do a quick keyword search instead of searching with advanced filters. 

A quick search will instantly find and list results for you from across all:

• your school’s users (school staff, students, and parents) 
• matching Schoolbox pages that you’ve got access to in your school.

The results will display a list of matching users and the top matching pages.

To do a quick search:

1. Select the search icon in the top menu.
    
2. Next, enter keywords of what you want to search.
   For example, enter your keyword as math.
   Note - Enter the first few letters of your keywords without quotation marks. This means you can quickly search using partial keywords.
    

3. A list of search results in a drop-down list displays from across all users and all pages: 

   

Note - Alternatively, you can also select from the drop-down list, to search using the advanced filters. You must ensure to enter full words when you search using advanced filters.

2. If you want to search within a date range, select the icon to choose the start and end dates.     
         
   Your search results use specific date filters for each field. The date filter used for:
   1. Badges, Files, Forums, Links, Pages / Folders, Textboxes, Tiles, Users - is when the item was last updated
   2. Blogs - is when the item was created

   5. News - is the publish date
      
      Note - To set the default start and end dates for Search, go to Admin > System Settings > Policy > Date Range for Search Filter.

5. When done, select Search.       
   This will display a list of search results based on the filters you’ve set and the selected types.
