Content Library Search Function
Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 9 April 2026.
Hi guys,
Is anyone having issues with the content library search in Admin View? It’s absolutely unusable! You can search for the full course name and still get 400+ irrelevant results and of course, not the course you are actually looking for. Very very frustrating....
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

I don't have an answer to the problem but yes, this is my experience too. Don't misspell anything in the title either. Then nothing comes up at all!

Hi Sofiia and Fawn,
Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the frustration it's causing. If you haven’t already, please log a case via the Litmos Customer Portal so our Support Team can take a closer look and help get this sorted.
All the best,
Lara.

What often helps me is to filter the course author. That can eliminate marketplace courses and drill down to internal authors quickly. Hope that helps.

I found a workaround. I search for courses now, by not using the search bar but using the filter in the button with the three lines next to the course title (see image attached). Hope this helps

One thing I've found is the Sort on the Column Headings is retained, and it keeps catching me out. For example if I apply a sort by Author, then navigate elsewhere in the platform. When I return to the Content screen, the sort is still applied, meaning when I search for a course, the results are in Author order.
I've got into the habit of either using the tip Gina provided below. Or clicking the arrow on the sort to remove it.

I did the same thing that Gina did. Was very frustrating that the content search bar doesn't work.
