          The latest get_courses_search() does not search the idnumber or shortname.

              $concat = $DB->sql_concat('c.summary', "' '", 'c.fullname', "' '",'c.idnumber', "' '", 'c.shortname');

              Thanks for reporting this.

              I've put it on our backlog and we'll try to get to it as soon as we can.

              In the meantime adding more information, such as replication instructions and/or fix test instructions, will help us and other users.

              Hello everyone,

              I´ve seen that on Moodle 2.1.2+ (Build 20111019) this line has been changed,

              In 2.1.2 it was like this:

              $concat = $DB->sql_concat('c.summary', "' '", 'c.fullname', "' '",'c.idnumber', "' '", 'c.shortname');

              and in 2.1.2+ (Build 20111019) it is like that:

              $concat = $DB->sql_concat("COALESCE(c.summary, '". $DB->sql_empty() ."')", "' '", 'c.fullname', "' '", 'c.idnumber', "' '", 'c.shortname');

              This change makes our Moodle fail because summary column datatype is clob and (at least in Oracle) coalesce parameters must be the same datatype. Anyway, that coalesce makes no sense for me as far as it makes no improvements.

              I don´t know how this works, if I have to add a new issue for this been solved please tell me.

              Thanks.
