implement moodle global search

[yedidiaklein]

Why didn't you implemented global search on your modules ? at least on the basic video module. see : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Search_API

This is very important!! Tnx

Hi, @idodido

Added basic support on 3 mods on branch moodle37. here is my pull request: https://github.com/kaltura/moodle_plugin/pull/315

Of course it could be implemented on other branches..

Tnx a lot!

Hi,

tnx a lot!

hi @yedidiaklein Appreciate your work on this. please note that no new plugin version is scheduled at the moment. new plugin versions are released periodically, as it requires resources scheduling.

Also, before adding the pull request, i would like to get an understanding of what exactly is this adding. what type of support for global search? where?

it you rather, we can wait for one of the developers to be assigned and look at it, but that might take a while. and so in order to approve the efforts on this, i would like to understand if this feature is compatible with the product roadmap and vision.

thanks ido.

Moodle has a feature of global search on all site. Every module need to implement indexing to this search, If your module isn't implementing indexing - it won't be found in global search. Most of Universities/Colleges that I know do not implement global search at all. But, some do...

It's so simple to implement, so it should be the standard on any module... Specifically, I've a client that use Kaltura and is missing this feature.

Of course I could implement it on his site, but I would like it to be on your baseline for future versions.

Tnx,
