Mahara comes with a search plugin that allows you to search for users and pages. If you install another search plugin, you will be able to select which one to use for your site.

42.

You can configure the internal search plugin in the :ref:`administration of the search plugin <plugin_search>`.

Group settings

44.

Mahara cannot only be used for individual work but also to work collaboratively in groups. Some settings are available in that area.

45.

**Create groups**: You decide whether administrators, administrators and staff or everyone can create groups. The default setting is the most permissive "everyone" because Mahara is user-centered and gives the individual users a great deal of control over what they want to do. If you choose to limit the group creation to administrators (and staff), these need to be contacted to set up groups. There is no internal group request system.

46.

**Create public groups**: Choose whether everyone or only administrators can create :ref:`public groups <public_group>`. These are groups for which you do not need to be a member of the group or even have a login for Mahara to view the group homepage, discussion forums (and member listing if the group administrator allowed that).

47.

**Allow group categories**: If checked, site administrators can create categories for users to assign to their groups. These categories can be used to filter groups in :ref:`My groups <my_groups>` and :ref:`Find groups <find_groups>`.

48.

Group categories are managed by site administrators in the :ref:`groups area <group_categories>` of the administration.

49.

Institution settings

50.

You can use Mahara with multiple institutions and separate them for administrative purposes, e.g. user management and permissions, and to give them a different theme.
