Introducing Modern Search

In August 2025, we revolutionised the way that search works in the Learning Platform. 

Using the same technology as AI large language models (LLMs - see note below), the Learning Platform now returns more relevant search results from a wider array of learning experience and content metadata in a shorter period of time. 

We've introduced a modern scrollable list view, an improved filter system, and enhanced content match visibility - making search faster, more engaging, and seamless.

To enable Modern Search in your organisation, read these instructions. 

Note: None of your data is ever used by our sub-processors (e.g. AWS) to train other models. Nor is your data accessible outside of our secure infrastructure.

Features

• Semantic similarity (i.e. a search for 'gardening' will return similar terms such as 'horticulture', but matches on ‘gardening’ will be seen as more relevant and so surfaced first) and exact keyword matching are combined to return relevant and related results
• Results are returned from matches within:
  • Learning experience titles and descriptions   
  • Learning experience object titles and descriptions
  • Resources used within learning experience objects:
    • PDF
    • Adapt
    • Learning Pool Authoring (formerly known as Adapt Builder)
    • Rise - not all versions supported
    • Storyline - not all versions supported
• Filters
  • Promoted learning experiences
  • Learning experience activity types
  • Skill including skills added to learning experiences manually and automatically  - available on Professional and Enterprise tiers only
  • Provider - requires integration with a third-party content library e.g. GetAbstract, Harvard Manage Mentor, etc.
  • Custom learning experience fields that are configured to be 'Filterable on Discover page'
    • Note: learners will be able to see ALL of these fields an the available options, regardless of whether the learner has visibility of any learning experiences where the field is used.  
• Keyword highlighting in search results 

Modern Search works with both the modern and old UI as well as both the standard and advanced searches.
