jira issues macro - how to make it searchable

[francis]

We are looking for a method to make the results of a jira-issues macro searchable by confluence.
Is there a way to extract the JIRA information and include it on a confluence page such that it is searchable ?

Perhaps you can try out the same method suggested for include macro and apply it for JIRA issues macro and see if that would work. Here are the links:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-19054?focusedCommentId=248645&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-248645

This is basically done by installing Bob Swift's Cache plugin. Then wrap your include macros with the {cache} macro, using the "index=true" parameter to make the content of the include macros searchable.

{cache:index=true}
{include:mySPACEKEY:My page name}
{cache}
