Search Widget
In the upper-right corner of the window, there is a Search field. This field may use either Global Search logic or Learning search logic, depending on Search Preference settings. Global Search is powered by Cornerstone's original search engine. This engine contains a predetermined ranking model which recommends training based on a combination of title, description, and other matches also driven by the user’s search string. Global Search returns predictive results as users type, which is powered by the engine of Learning Search.See Global Search Overview.
Learning Search
The Learning Search page allows users to search for and filter training in the system. The robust filter options make it easy for users to find training. Learning Search is accessed via the Learner Home page, and is fully optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers. Learning Search is powered by Cornerstone’s newest search engine. This engine indexes and intelligently surfaces training based on a number of variables, powered by the user’s search string. It is designed to surface relevant training in an expeditious manner. See Learning Search.
Learner Home
The Learner Home serves as a learning hub which facilitates a seamless learning experience for users, allowing them to browse for and request relevant training, search and filter for specific training, and helps ensure compliance by helping you prioritize and take action on training you must complete. The Learner Home includes several features which enable learners to easily select subjects of interest, discover training based on machine learning, and quickly access and request new training. See Learner Home - End User View Overview.
