Search

Search finds articles, glossary terms, tags, school events, and announcements across your entire school library. It matches on titles and body text, with a fuzzy fallback that still finds results when your spelling isn't exact — and it works offline.

Open search

Tap the centre button in the navigation bar. The search overlay covers the screen with a search bar positioned above the keyboard. Start typing to see results.

You can open search from any tab. It works the same way everywhere.

How matching works

Search works in two passes so you still get results even when your typing isn't exact.

• Keyword matches — Matches words in titles and body content. If you type "stance", it finds every article and term that contains that word.
• Fuzzy fallback — When keyword matches are sparse, C3NTR loosens up and finds close matches too, so a small typo or a slightly different word still surfaces the right item.

Keyword matches appear first, with fuzzy matches filling in below when there aren't many exact hits.

Filter results

Below the search bar you will see filter chips:

• All — Shows everything.
• Articles — Shows only articles.
• Terms — Shows only glossary terms.
• Tags — Shows only tag pages.
• Events — Shows only upcoming school events.
• Updates — Shows only announcements.

Tap a chip to narrow your results. Tap it again to go back to showing everything.

Find school events

Search looks ahead up to twelve months in your school calendar. Type the name of an event, a type (like "grading" or "camp"), or a place (like "Main hall") and matching events appear with a calendar icon. Tap one to see the full day summary, with the option to add it to your iPhone calendar.

Recurring events show the next upcoming date. A weekly class appears once, not once for every week.

Reading your results

Results are grouped by type, with the closest matches at the top. Matching keywords are highlighted in each result so you can see why it appeared.

Recents and shortcuts

Before you start typing, the search overlay shows helpful shortcuts:

• Recent searches — Your last few search queries, saved for quick access. Tap one to search again.
• Popular in your school — The top five articles by view count. A good starting point if you are new.
• Recently viewed — The last five items you opened from search results.

Offline search

Search works without an internet connection. When you are offline, it still finds cached articles and terms on your device — the whole search runs locally, so there's nothing extra to download to keep it working.
