The question bank contains an extensive search filter to retrieve a specific question or questions. This can be found in the administration environment, via Questions > select question bank. The image below shows the search field where search terms are typed.
There are several ways to search. For example, a search term can be entered and will be specifically searched for. Also, so-called wildcards can be used in the search terms. Examples are:
| Search term | Explanation |
|---|---|
| A B (or 'A AND B') | search for A and B |
| A B (or 'A OR B') | Search for A or B or both |
| A AND (B OR C) | Search for A and B or C |
| "A B C" | search for the combination "A B C" |
| A NOT(B) (or 'A AND !B') | Search for A, but B must not appear |
| Code: ABC | Search for results where code ABC is |
| Code: AB* | Search for all codes that start with AB and then contain any sequence of other characters |
| Code>100 | Search for any code greater than 100 |
| Code<100 | Search for a code less than 100 |
In addition, established filters can be used. For example, filtering can be done by question type or question status. This way, archived questions, for instance, can be retrieved. There is also the possibility of filtering by the question properties.
The 'Show all' function at the top right of the question overview gives an overview of all questions, including an example of each question. A PDF of the displayed questions can be created from this screen. This function is intended for a small number of questions, adding too many questions can create a very large file!
