also has an open opportunity for you to do a search. So we're going to show you how a document repository allows searching. If it's a course's document repository, under Manage Feature, there's going to be an option to say Allow Document Search. If you uncheck this box, then the user view is going to look like this. There's no searching capability, which makes sense if your content is fairly small and sequential, for example, and there is no need for the user to perform search. But if your content is quite long and they are not necessarily organized in any linear fashion, you might want to have your document repository with search turned on. So now I'm going to show you a course that has search turned on. This one has search turned on, which means someone can make a search, say personal, say SILF. Okay, when they do a search, the courses that have the word SILF is going to show up. As you can see here, having a search box allows users to quickly find things within the content that they may not be able to recognize just by eyeballing the content. In addition, you might have noticed that there's some dropdown here. This is an advanced feature that allows you to tag content to make your document repository more organized. To do that, all you have to do is on the admin view, go to the course. For any course that has content, there's going to be a little tag icon here. You can click on the icon to add tags. You can, this is a strictly key value pair with key can be anything you want and value can be anything you want. In this example, this particular article, a PDF file, has five authors, one category, one type, and one year published. So I can just come up with another one, let's say category, and I want to call it fellow training. If that's what you want, you just add it. Then it just shows up as another category. So notice this is completely unstructured. What you type is what you get. So I'm just going to remove that. And you can continue to add them. You can click on manage meta tags to get a holistic view of all the tags has been associated with each piece of content that you have. And after everything's tagged, it will allow you to search your content much easier for the learner because now they can actually use the drill down to say, oh, I only want things that related to ankle and hind foot. And then only 10 matches and they can also say, I only want things that was authored by Dr. Plus. And then only one show up. So as you can see, searching give you a very high level way to allow quick search on your content. Optional way of meta tagging your content will create drop downs for your learner to be able to filter the content in case there's a lot of document in your document repository.
