Search Results

Search results are limited by the assets that the user can access within Skillport. For example, if the user account does not have access to the Books24x7 then Books database is not included in the search.

Search results generate courseware hits at two levels:

Search results indicate the relevant course and topic IDs as native ID attribute values. The native ID attribute value for a course is the same as the asset ID for a given course installed through the Asset Integration service. You can use the native attribute value for a topic as the topicid value for a topic launch of the parent course object. A native course launch URL is generated by following the customer application's specific rules for creating a launch URL for installed course objects. A native topic launch can be created by following the same rules but appending the topicid=nativeIdForTopic to the URL. For more information about Launch URLs, see Web Services and Launch URLs.

Search result sets can be very large. The Search-and-Learn® service supports iterating through search results in small increments to improve performance. The Search-and-Learn® service also provides utility functions for getting and defining search configuration values, for example, available languages, asset types, bins, and asset details.
