If you're viewing CodeHS using a mobile device or a smaller screen, you may not see the search bar, but you can still access it.

Depending on your screen size, you can instead select the Search icon (πŸ”), or select the More icon (𝍫) > Search. If you have access to a keyboard, you can also press Ctrl+K (Windows) or Cmd+K (Mac) to launch the Search bar.

Using Search

You can use Search to find tools, students, sections, courses, and more. At the top, you'll see options for filtering search results based on several categories. As you type, search results will populate below.

Use the arrow keys and press Enter or select one of the search results to go to that page.
