Search does not work

[Dung Tran]

Sometimes I tried to search articles from the search bar with a key word but the article (I created) includes that key word doesn't appear in the search results. Does anyone know why?

It's because there was an incident affecting search and CQL performance on Wednesday and Thursday. It's now been fixed.

As a part of the fix, Atlassian were re-indexing Confluence sites and that rectified the situation. Can confirm.

If the issue persist, get in touch with Atlassian support - ideal via online chat as it's faster - and ask them to re-index your site.

(BTW, I actually think Confluence Cloud search is rather good :) ).

Thank Kristian for your information :)

...Because the Confluence search is crap? ;)

Check out this guide for some info on how the search works: Confluence search syntax | Confluence Cloud | Atlassian Support

I work with starring pages and the "Recently worked on" tab a lot. Also labels on pages can help sometimes.

Thanks for your tips :)
