How are Questions for Confluence treated in search results

[Susan Rubin-Stewart]

I apologize if this has already been answered but I did an indepth search of this knowledge base and could not find the answer.   How are entries in Questions for Confluence treated in search results and how can I move these higher?

Hi Susan,

Questions are included in the search in Confluence, and you can read about that on Questions and Answers: 

Find questions (and answers)

You can find questions and answers in a number of ways:

• Search - see questions in the quicknav and search results - there is even a filter for questions.
• Browse  - view recent, popular, unanswered questions, your own questions, or questions on a particular topic.
• Watch - be notified by email when new questions are added to a topic you are watching.

Questions also appear in the Popular tab on the Confluence dashboard. 

There's not a way to move them higher, they're sorted all the same with the Confluence pages. 

You can change your search syntax or CQL in order to affect what sort of results come up:

• Confluence Search Syntax
• Advanced Searching using CQL

Let me know if you have any questions about that!

Regards,

Shannon
