Is there a way to search for key words in Confluence?

[Fahad Akhtar]

Hi,

How can I search for key words in Confluence? When I ask Confluence to search for something it gives me every result for each word that I typed in the search bar. How can I do it so that Confluence only searches for that particular phrase of words instead of each individual word in each page/space/attachment?

Thanks,
Fahad

Hi @Fahad Akhtar 

if you are interested on a high qualtiy search solution for Confluence Cloud, iFinder Confluence Search is available at the Atlassian Marketplace.

It helps even the confluence user without expert knowledge to search quite intuitively.

This enterprise search solution delivers top results based on linguistic analysis and offers many additional features. Also, a dashboard is available where you can find your previous searches, your saved searches, and favorites.

Regarding your request, the search query can be specified via a menu without the need for knowledge of search operators.

Hi @Fahad Akhtar ~ you should be able to use a phrase surrounded by double quotes (example below).  You can further filter that by some of the options shown on the right of the screen shot.  In my example, I only wanted to search for the phrase in the title.  Ref here for more info (like using wildcards):  Performing text searches using CQL (atlassian.com)
