Smart Search Videos

Does the Smart Search locate content that includes Videos that are in the course assignments?

Great question, @JenniferJBland and welcome to the Community! I did some testing and found that the search does find videos that are embedded in assignments. Note that it searches neither the video captions nor the description of Studio videos (even if the media tabs are included with the video embed).

Sorry @JenniferJBland. I just realized I did my testing with Simple Search, not Smart Search. In my classes I just see a "Search" link in the Course Navigation menu. Guess I'm a bit more simple than smart myself. 🤣

@JenniferJBland Hi! I know this is a later response, however I wanted to contribute. I did some testing like @ProfessorBeyrer did, and depending on the embed or with how it was linked, sometimes it would pop up but other times it wouldn't. So I guess the answer is... it depends on how the video is added to your page, and what platform you're embedding off of. I was using YouTube, more specifically.
