Can we update Search to show the status, in particular verified badge

Marc Solomon

I want to see the status of a page in the search.

Why?

I want to identify provenance, we have 60 pages regarding Insurance certificates, 59 are duplicates in a project (Space), and 1 is the master in the Organisation. I want to see quickly that one page in particular is Verified.

Simple ask?

Regards

Marc

Hi @Marc Solomon 

Did you try Confluence databases? You can configure columns to display all sorts of details about specific pages - including status.

You can have the master page in the DB along with the copies and basically see if the master page is verified and copies updated.

DB updates automatically, you can link to it, embed on any page..., so there'd be no need to search.

@Marc Solomon Have you tried applying filters in your search? When you click in the Search box at the top of your Confluence page and then select the filters icon, you get a list of items you can filter your search on:

I can't find a page describing the features of this box, but maybe:

  • You can select a specific status (though these are only the 5 page statuses you define in Space settings, not random statuses you might add in a Status macro)
  • The Verified checkbox will meet your needs
  • You could add a Label (master or something like that) on the master page and search based on that label

Hi @Marc Solomon ,


What you’re asking makes perfect sense — being able to see the status or verified badge directly in search results would be a great way to quickly identify the master/original page among duplicates. Currently, Confluence search doesn’t display the “Verified” or approval status in the search results by default.
A few approaches you can consider:
Use labels or page properties:
Add a consistent label like verified to your master page.
In search, filter by label: labelText = verified.
This helps quickly isolate the authoritative page without digging through all duplicates.
Page Properties Report Macro:
Use a Page Properties macro on each page to track status (e.g., Draft, Verified).
Then create a summary page using the Page Properties Report macro to see all pages and their statuses at a glance.
Custom Search with ScriptRunner (if available):
ScriptRunner allows JQL-like searches for Confluence. You could write a script to surface pages with a specific property (like Verified) directly in a custom search.
Feature request to Atlassian:
Since this is a usability improvement request — “show Verified/Status badge in search results” — you can submit it on Atlassian’s Feature Request portal so the team can consider it for future updates.

I hope this helps you out
