- Document availability of directory search settings for institutional
  directory, and also for LON-CAPA domain directory.

    1: \label{Domain_Configuration_InstDirectory_Search}
    2: LON-CAPA provides a mechanism to search for users by complete username,
    3: last name, or last name,first name (or fragments of each). Accounts
    4: within the LON-CAPA domain itself can be searched, or alternatively,
    5: an institutional directory may be searched, if you are able to implement
    6: a conduit to directory information to support such searches. This
    7: will be done by customizing the \&get\_userinfo() routine in localenroll.pm.
    8: This routine has a dual role in LON-CAPA. Not only will it support
    9: searches where the user is not excatly known, but it can also be used
   10: to retrieve institutional records for a specific username or student/employee
   11: ID. This latter mode of use is appropriate when adding a new user
   12: to LON-CAPA.
   13: 
   14: Settings for directory searches apply either to institutional directory
   15: searches or to LON-CAPA domain searches.  
   16: 
   17: \begin{enumerate}
   18: 
   19: \item Institutional Directory searches
   20: 
   21: \begin{itemize}
   22: \item Set institutional directory searches as available or unavailable in the domain
   23: \item Set whether users from other LON-CAPA domains can use the institutional
   24: directory search to search for users.
   25: \item For searches by users within your domain, you can limit the users
   26: who can use institutional directory search based on institutional status
   27: \item Set which types of search method - username, last name or last name,first
   28: name are allowed for institutional searches
   29: \item Set which types of search latitude - exact match, begins with or contains
   30: - are allowed.
   31: \end{itemize}
   32: 
   33: \item LON-CAPA Domain searches
   34: 
   35: \begin{itemize}
   36: \item Set whether accounts within the LON-CAPA domain itself can be searched by
   37: users with privileges to add users to a course, or as co-authors, or to a domain. 
   38: All types of search method and all types of search latitude will be available 
   39: for LON-CAPA domain searches.
   40: \item Set whether users from other domains can search within a LON-CAPA domain.
   41: \end{itemize}
   42: 
   43: \end{enumerate}
   44: 
   45: In the case of a {}``contains'' type search at least
   46: three characters must be entered by the user as the search term. Searches
   47: are case insensitive.
