\label{Searching}

LON-CAPA has a built-in search of LON-CAPA resources.  Metadata exists
for each resource published in the LON-CAPA repository.  Much of the
metadata which exists is reported by the author upon resource
publication.  Some dynamic metadata is tracked by the system as well.

To access the search functionality, 
select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{src}
\textbf{Search the database of published resources and accessible protfolio files} on the Main Menu.
If you wish to search for resources related to a certain word or phrase,
the  \ref{Search_Basic} Basic Search provides the capabitility to search 
a number of metadata fields at once.

If you have more specific needs, such as a desire to search on
metadata not included in the basic search, the \ref{Search_Advanced}
Advanced Search will allow you to specify values for as many metadata
fields you are interested in.

% \ref{Search_Course} Course Search  Omitted for now :(
