Ctrl+F limited on current version

[Le Anh Dung]

Hi,

Is there a way to limit the search function Ctrl+F only on the current version of Confluence page? Now Confluence search all version and show the latest version where the keyword found.

Hi,

We have found out that for some unknown reason the page's contents has been duplicated after edit, so the content is from both new and old version and users  think that Ctrl+F keyword shows old version.

Many of our users had faced the same problem, thus this is a totally different issue.

Brs,

Hi @Le Anh Dung welcome to the Atlassian community.

I knew about the search / find is about finding the keyword across the Confluence. But not sure what you mean by other versions or how is it possible to have a confluence run on multiple versions!

HI @G subramanyam

For example, I have keyword ABC in version 1 of the page and that keyword is removed and replaced by the keyword XYZ on the next version, which is current version. However when some of my team's member have no idea that the keyword ABC is removed from our library and search for ABC keyword on the page, Confluence will show the old version of the page with old information instead of current version without that keyword and he/she has no idea that Confluence is showing him/her old version of the page.

That makes complete sense.

Confluence search/ find functionality is to pull out the key word irrespective of the page versions. And I don't see why it should tell whether it's an old version or current version as long as the user knows the data available to access.

But you may contact the Atlassian support with your suggestions. Or if their is already a solution or work around let's wait for other members to post an answer.
