It's now possible to search Blackboard content looking for specific words and phrases. This should make it much simpler to find specific documents without having to navigate complex folder structures. The search tool is available in the 'My Blackboard' tab (1.) or can be included as a portal module (2.) on any of tabs. With this tool, you can search all of your courses, or you can search a specific course.
The search results include a link to any document containing the search text.
Each course has it's own search tool.
The advanced search let's you search specific content types.
Documentation for the Search tool can be found here.
