Search in question bank

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 termExplanation
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: ABCSearch 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>100Search for any code greater than 100
Code<100Search 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!
