The YouEyeSea home page gives you a single search bar that queries every course and professor in the database. You can type a course code like CS 342, a partial title, or a professor’s last name and get results immediately — no need to know the exact spelling.

​
How the search bar works

The search bar uses fuzzy matching, so partial input and minor typos still return relevant results. As you type, a results panel drops down with matching courses and professors grouped separately. Selecting a result takes you directly to that course’s detail page.
1

Open the home page

Navigate to youeyesea.com. The search bar receives focus automatically on desktop.
2

Type a course code, title, or professor name

Enter any part of what you’re looking for. For example, typing calc will surface calculus courses across multiple departments. Typing a professor’s last name surfaces every course they have taught.

Select a result

Click or press Enter on a result to go to that course’s grade distribution page. The URL follows the pattern /course/[subject]-[number], for example /course/cs-342.
Searching by subject code (e.g., CS, MATH, BIOS) narrows results faster than typing a full course name. The placeholder cycles through “Search for a course…”, “Search for a title…”, and “Search for a professor…” to remind you of all three modes.

​
Command palette

You can open a quick-navigation search from anywhere on the site using the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux. The command palette lets you jump to any course without returning to the home page first.

​
URL structure for course pages

Every course has a permanent URL at /course/[subject]-[number]. The subject is the department code in lowercase and the number is the four-digit course number. Examples:
CourseURL
CS 342/course/cs-342
MATH 180/course/math-180
BIOS 100/course/bios-100
You can link directly to any course page by constructing its URL in this format.

​
What the search covers

Type the subject abbreviation followed by the course number, with or without a space: CS342, cs 342, and CS 342 all work. The search is case-insensitive.
