Case studies

After the Omnisearch integration, the most obvious advantage their students have is immediate access to exactly what they want, in just a few seconds. Getting the right information fast is improving their productivity. They have courses with 42 videos, so it’s crucial for them to have an integrated tool like Omnisearch, that will help their students find the right information in all the files ( audio, video, or PDF ) to list all the lessons which the word they are searching for appears. And not only that – when they select a lesson, they see the number of times the word appears and the timing in the video of where they can find it.

Today, there are a lot of course creators using Thinkific Training, and they all have different methods of learning. Some of them prefer to move through the whole course as intended, but there are also creators that like to filter past what they already know or what’s not important to them, and get to the parts there are new to them. That's why Omnisearch enables Thinkific customers to find lessons on specific topics faster. Besides the user experience, our AI-powered search also makes the “return experience” to the courses better for all of the course creators. 

The huge advantage that Thinkific is noticing with using Omnisearch daily, is that there is no need to maintain it. After setting up the AI-powered search, every time they upload a new training course,  they automatically have: transcription from all audio and video files and can perform keyword-based content searches, mapping results to the exact seconds where they occur.

For Thinkific the long-term impact of using Omnisearch is the overall experience of being a Thinkific Academy student. When customers love the experience not only do they come back for more training, they refer it to others as well. All of these actions lead to more success for Thinkific, as well as their customers.

To implement game-changing search functionality on their site, OmniPro used a combination of Omnisearch’s basic features as well as the more advanced ones we recently released. First off, Omnisearch powers the search functionality within individual courses. This means that a student searching for, say, “insolvency” can find and navigate exact seconds where insolvency is mentioned inside the video lessons. See what the feature looks like here. Something worth noting is that though Omnisearch’s bread and butter are audio and video, it can also search text, documents, presentations and more. Martin highlights this as one of the main benefits of using Omnisearch.

As great as these features are, they weren’t sufficient for the full range of OmniPro’s search problems. The main change that was needed was to enable students to search across multiple courses rather than within a single one. Along with this, an important requirement was being able to narrow down search results by applying filters. Both these problems were solved in Omnisearch’s recent big release.
