Set Default search as current space search

Chaithra N

Hi,

We have a requirement to set search to do searching only for current space. Can anybody let us know how this can be set at space level or at gobal level.

We need this at the default search button

Note: We are using Confluence Version 5.1.3

Thanks,

Chaithra

Just realized that this can also be set in the Theme Configuration if you are using the Documentation Theme. Go to Confluence Admin -> Look and Feel -> Themes. Click on Configure Theme and there is a check box for limiting search to the current space.

By default the top search box should only search the current space. In order to search other spaces you have to prefix the search with spaceKey:{key} {term} for a specific space or ALL:{term} for all spaces. The top search should by default only search the space you are currently in. If it doesn't then there is some non-default thing that is changing that.

Documentation theme is not included in Version 6.0.

How to solve this problem now?

Any tipps for an alternative theme with a function to limiting search to the current space?

Here's a non-technical possibility for you. On your space home page you could put a search box on the page using the livesearch maco. One of the properties of that macro allows you to specify a space to search.

Hi Davin,

thanks for your quick reply!

Yes ok, but I still have this issue with the main search box on the top. How to solve this?

I wonder that no plugin or theme address this function.

That is why I provided a non-technical solution. If you want to do the searchbox you will need to do it with some Javascript. In Confluence Admins -> Look and feel -> Custom HTML add the below block.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
 AJS.$('#quick-search input[name="where"]').val(AJS.params.spaceKey);
});
</script>
