Hello I'm trying to get an explanation of how the search functionality works on catalog searches. Specifically in this case the "Full Course Catalog." When I search for a word in the global search I only get 5 results. However, when I search for the same word in the full course catalog I get 42 results.
This article explains perfectly how the global search works: https://help.docebo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020127199-Using-the-Platform-s-Global-Search
Can anybody please point me to documentation or tell me how catalog search work?
How does a catalog search content?
I believe the catalogue search searches on the title and first few lines of the description.
I have a hunch that global does a more exact search like “test”, with parenthesis, which only brings up exact words. Whereas, catalog searches searches test, without parenthesis, which would bring up any instance of a word with the letters test in it like (testable).
Another thing that I believe impacts this is visibility permissions. I would certainly think that a superadmin would have fairly equal results in either search, a normal user might have a different experience due to the permissions.
