Using Google custom search on Confluence content

[Jake Stone]

I'm very new to Confluence, but I will be working with it in my new job. All I know so far is: "improve confluence search."

I have investigated the Confluence REST API. It is clear.

I have seen that Confluence cloud has an api for outside search engines to index Confluence.

So....

Is it possible to

• create an authorized user for Google Custom Search,
• Allow Google Custom Search to index Confluence
• and then make the Google Custom Search app available to users

(I can't help thinking they might have a better search algorithm than I would come up with)
