Search

Search in Thrive helps you find content, people, and resources across the platform quickly and accurately. Whether you're looking for a specific course, an upcoming event, or a colleague's profile, Search surfaces the most relevant results and gives you flexible tools to narrow them down.

Intelligent Search

Thrive uses Intelligent Search to deliver smarter, more relevant results. It combines traditional keyword matching with vector search to understand the intent behind your query – not just the words themselves.

For shorter queries (up to three words), Thrive blends both methods to balance precision and relevance. For longer, more natural-language queries, vector search takes the lead, surfacing the most useful content even when it doesn't include your exact keywords.

All content is searchable, including titles, subtitles, descriptions, articles, and mixed content.

Sorting Results

Use the sort buttons at the top left of the Search screen to change the order of your results:

• Relevant: Displays results ranked by how closely they match your search query. This is the default view.

• Recent: Shows the most recently published or updated content first.

• Popular: Surfaces content with the highest engagement across the platform.

• Created: Orders results by creation date, with the newest first.

Filtering Results

Use the filter options at the top right of the Search screen to narrow your results. Filters can be used alongside sorting and combined with each other.

Endorsed

Toggle Endorsed on to show only content that has been endorsed by an admin or manager. Endorsed content has been reviewed and recommended as particularly useful or authoritative.

Assigned to me

Toggle Assigned to me on to show only content that has been directly assigned to you. Use this to quickly find learning you're required to complete.
