Search for Assets and Folders

Some pages in Skillport include a search tool you can use to search for folders and content within the Library.

Because this search uses the same underlying search engine as the one used by learners, you can use it create several different kinds of search expressions. However, unlike the search tool learners use, you can use it to search for folders, but you cannot use it to perform "searches within search results."

Note: The Evaluation search function does not allow search at the folder level.

To use the search tool

1. In Search for, enter a keyword or phrase.

   For examples of search expressions, see the Search Tips section at the end of this topic.

2. Select a Category. You can:
   • choose a specific type of learning asset to search for (such as Courses, KnowledgeCenters, or Books),
   • select All to return all types of learning assets and folders, or
   • select Folders to search for folders only.

     Note: The options listed in the Category list depend on your context. For example, when you're viewing the Library contents, you cannot search directly for Job Aids, SkillBriefs, videos, and books because you cannot add these types of assets to the Library. Similarly, in the Learning Program Manager, you cannot search directly for KnowledgeCenters because you cannot add these types of assets to a learning program.

3. Select a Language. This is for the returned search results' asset language (for example, if you choose French, only assets written in French display in the search results).

   Note: You must enter your search term(s) in the language specified. This setting is disabled when you select Folders from the Category drop-down list.

4. Click Search.
