Limit a search bar to only one space in confluence

Oxana Ermolaeva

Hi. I want to restrict a search bar in Service Desk space in Confluence to the articles only in this space, but when I try to enter some names of documents from other spaces, it shows them. I have used "live search macro" for creating this search field and search bar but it still gives access to documents from other spaces. I tried to edit it also in live search macro settings, I chose Service desk space, but it didn't work as well. I will be glad if you could help me. I am using Confluence Cloud, by the way.

Hi @Oxana Ermolaeva

With the Live search macro, did you put @self in the Restrict to this Space Key param in the macro config ? It will restrict results to only the current space...

the doc of the macro is here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-livesearch-macro/

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Dam.

@Chu Dam thank you for your prompt reply. I clicked ''edit'' the livesearch macro and it opened the right side bar with parameters, but they are a little different from the article you sent. It shows me the following

@Chu Dam I clicked the Space field and selected Service desk space only, but it still shows me articles from other spaces.

Humm its maybe a macro from an app... Did you choose your space here in the list of spaces ? (first param of your macro here)

Choose your space and try it should work... @Oxana Ermolaeva

Hi @Oxana Ermolaeva

There are two other ways to search within a space, in addition to the live search macro.

1. Go to the search bar on the top right of your page, and see the "Filter by Space" area. Select the space you want to search within.

2. You could also go to the page tree (the left panel of a space) and select "Pages" section. This would bring you to a space-specific search that is limited only to content in that space.
