    Description

      This API adjustment makes it possible for code to search/filter questions in the question bank by any criteria. It introduces a new "question_bank_search_condition" class.

      Example usage includes plugins or future code finding questions based on tags, a text search, or finding questions of a certain type. Ie, show all true/false questions in a category, all questions tagged "PHP", or all questions which mention "SimpleTest".

      For illustration, the category filter and the "show old questions" filter have been converted to question_bank_search_condition subclasses. A test subclass to find questions based on tags also exists using this API.
