Using the search field on the landing page

On the ShareStats landing page you can search for items by entering keywords in the search field. The search will direct you to the itembank table with a selection of matches to your keywords in their title, description, meta information or question body. In addition you can refine your search by using the filters at the top of the table.

Adding tags

An overview of all the tags used in the itembank can be found on the tags page. You can use these tags to filter your search results.

Some useful combinations of tags are for example the Type, in which you can indicate that you want an item that is about Performing analysis or Data manipulation, and the Section, in which you can indicate that you want an item that is about a specific statistical topic from the taxonomy.

Perusing the taxonomy

The complete taxonomy tree can be visually inspected on the taxonomy visual page. The entire taxonomy list can be found on the taxonomy tree. Here you can click on the taxonomy level of interest and this wil direct you back to the itembank search table with all the items that are tagged with this taxonomy level.
