    Description

      For instances with Global search enabled re-route the functionality of the course search (/course/search.php) to the main global search page. This is to provide a unified search interface for users. This issue has MDL-60913 as a prerequisite.

      It is likely that the list of courses provided by /admin/blocks.php amd admin/modules.php will remain the same. This is to provide Admins with a simple consistent list of courses that use blocks or modules.

       This proposed work will be sponsored by abias and Ulm Uni. Catalyst to carry out the work.
