A Single Search for Everything

The Universal Search Bar lets you search across your entire organization — including:

• Courses (titles, descriptions, tags)
• Modules

Just type a keyword and Teachfloor instantly scans titles, descriptions, and metadata to surface the most relevant results.

You can open the Universal Search from anywhere:

• Click the search bar in the top navigation
• Or use the shortcut Cmd + P (Mac) / Ctrl + P (Windows)

Perfect for fast navigation and power users.

Filter Results by Content Type

Refine your results with one click:

These filters help you quickly locate exactly the resource you're searching for — from a specific PDF to a student profile.

Smart Result Previews

Search results include:

• Title
• Content type
