Search
Find the right row directly in Confluence. Search checks every visible column at once and answers questions as they arise, without changing the saved table view.
What you can do with search right away
Search is for questions that appear while people work: find a customer, narrow a topic, or open the right entry inside a prepared view.
- Find a customer or issue
- Search a name, ID, domain, or keyword. One query checks every visible column.
- Investigate a topic in a long report
- Enter payment, outage, or renewal to keep only rows where that topic appears in the visible context.
- Search inside a prepared view
- Apply a saved filter such as Status is Open in the background, then let readers search that result for a team, customer, or error message.
How search works
Readers can find a row without changing the saved table.
Immediate results
Visible rows update as you type.
Visible columns
Search checks the columns shown in the table.
Only your current view
Your search term changes neither the data source nor the saved macro configuration.
Example: triage support tickets
In a long ticket list, a support team can search for a topic while keeping its prepared working context.
- Prepare the working view
- Save a filter for open or urgent tickets and hide the Filter bar from readers.
- Search for the topic
- Readers search payment, urgent, or bug inside the already-filtered result.
- Move to the next topic
- Clear or replace the query. The source data and default view stay unchanged.
