Searching and Filtering Questions

The Search page lets you find any questions in your Question Bank quickly. You can narrow results using a rich set of filters.

# Opening the Search Page

From the Question Bank home page, click Browse All. The search page opens showing all your questions.

# The Filter Panel

Click the Filter button (or it may be shown as a side panel by default) to reveal all available filters. You can combine multiple filters — results show only questions that match all active filters simultaneously.
