    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 are: 
   15: 
   16: \begin{itemize}
   17: \item Set directory searches as available or unavailable in the domain
   18: \item Set whether users from other LON-CAPA domains can use the institutional
   19: directory search to search for users. Note: this only applies to institutional
   20: directory data, users with privileges to add users to a course will
   21: always be able to search the LON-CAPA user database for other domains.
   22: \item For searches by users within your domain, you can limit the users
   23: who can use directory search based on institutional status
   24: \item Set which types of search method - username, last name or last name,first
   25: name are allowed for institutional searches
   26: \item Set which types of search latitude - exact match, begins with or contains
   27: - are allowed
   28: \end{itemize}
   29: In the case of a \char`\"{}contains\char`\"{} type search at least
   30: three characters must be entered by the user as the search term. Searches
   31: are case insensitive.
