To search MediaSpace:
- Click on the SEARCH button at the top of the page
- In the accompanying dialog box, enter your search term(s) you are looking for
- The Kaltura search engine will search the titles, descriptions, tags, quiz questions, inserted slides, and captions of any publicly available media in MediaSpace
Search Tips
- Search is not case sensitive
- Use quotations to search for a full term; for instance oregon state university will produce different results than "oregon state university"
- Quotations will help you find a specific term; searching for atom will also turn up search results for atomic and anatomy, but "atom" will not
- The Kaltura elastic search engine will perform fuzzy search logic, so searching for atom will produce search results including the term tom
- Search results for captioned videos will include a clickable timestamp that will take the viewer directly to the point in the video where the term appears
