Searching Page History - Comment field

Question

As pages are modified, our users will make a Comment in the "What did you change" box in the Editor. I would like to be able to Search on that comment.

I found this ticket open with Atlassian for Cloud version: [CONFCLOUD-1281] Add ability to search historical pages and attachments - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Does anyone know of a tip or an app that we can install that would search the Page History?

There are no Apps

And here is the feature request

I don't believe Advanced Search will search the Page History, only the current version of the page.

Hi @Michelle Gronwold

With Advanced Search it's possible.

Here's the reference
