Introducing Search Categories

Ask any L&D leader about their biggest challenge, and you’ll hear familiar themes: too many tools, constant requests, and never enough time. They’re tasked with developing a workforce that’s adaptable, compliant, and future-ready—often without being subject matter experts in every area they’re responsible for. 

The hardest part? Quickly finding the right content to meet a variety of needs.  

At Go1, we’ve always believed that content discovery is foundational to learning outcomes. That’s why, over the past few years, we’ve invested heavily in improving search. We rolled out natural language processing to understand query intent. We improved search ranking to surface better results, faster. We introduced more powerful filters to cut through the noise.   

These investments brought us closer to better search. But search is only one part of a larger journey—and it’s only by designing that full journey that we can earn trust, build confidence, and truly support L&D teams in their work.   

Introducing Search Categories 

Search Categories is our newest evolution in search and discovery.   

Rather than starting with a blank search bar, admins now get curatedentry points based on real-world needs—like compliance training, general personal development, or  core business skills.  Whether you're focused on evergreen topics like Health & Safety, Change Management, and Emotional Intelligence, or industry-specific content tailored to Education and Training or Financial Services, there's a category to streamline your discovery 

With Search Categories, admins can:   

• Navigate content faster with organized topics 
• Easily explore our full library with an organized index of what’s available 
• Quickly find the latest and most popular content in any category 

We’ve redesigned the experience to feel effortless—so you can navigate Go1 with confidence. It’s more than just search. It’s your intelligent guide, helping you explore, discover, and unlock learning opportunities at every step of the way. 

What’s new in Search Categories: 

• Search Categories homepage: A dedicated homepage to quickly explore popular and relevant content categories. 
• Category pages: Each category features a tailored view of learning content, highlighting what's newest and most in-demand. 
• Search within a category: Easily refine your search within selected categories, ensuring you pinpoint the content you need without losing context. 
• Indexed content catalogue: Access a clear, structured index of Go1’s entire library, organized by our topic taxonomy. 

Discovery that drives results 

One HR leader told us they used to chase down policy updates across multiple regions before selecting any training. With Search Categories, they jump straight into "HR compliance " and surface region‑specific courses on data privacy, harassment prevention, and wage & hour regulations—cutting prep time from days to minutes.  They didn’t need to be experts; they just needed the right guide.  

Another team relies on the new “New and Trending” category to stay ahead of emerging learning needs. Instead of digging through providers one by one, they open a single view to see what’s most in demand across our 250+ content partners. What once took hours of cross‑referencing now happens in minutes—and keeps their programs fresh and relevant. 

This is just the beginning. Soon, we’ll roll out personalized categories and advanced filters—helping you scale discovery across roles, regions, and use cases. Content discovery won’t just be easier. It’ll be predictive, context-aware, and built to support your entire L&D strategy. 

Search Categories is now in beta and will be rolling out to all Go1 portals over the coming weeks. Dive in—and discover what’s possible when search starts with you. Still exploring content providers? Get in touch to see how Go1’s search experience can help you deliver learning that’s faster, smarter, and built for real-world results.
