How to Increase the Priority of Certain Documents in Search Results?

王兆丞

Our team has a large number of internal documents, and sometimes the search results do not show what we are looking for. Is there a way to make certain high-quality documents appear at the top so that we can find better documents more quickly during searches? At the same time, I do not want other non-high-quality documents to be hidden; I just want their priority to be lower.

Hi @王兆丞

Click on the star icon at the top of the page you want to save for later. This action will save the page to your Starred tab, which you can access from the Confluence navigation.

Hi @王兆丞

To expand on @John Funk 's solution, you can also use a system of labels.

This might be useful if you need a more refined approach (for example, different teams might need to prioritize different pages...)

You can refine search by labels, you can even create dedicate pages that would list all pages with a specific label, effectively creating a 'shortcut', an on-tap page just with the specific pages.

As your content expands, organizing and managing content will become a prerequisite to usable search results.

There is no way to manually modify the ranking of search hits.

The techniques suggested in other answers can help to some extent (like using favorites to bring hits to the top in your search results, but it won't affect other users' searches), but there is no general solution to the problem.

hi @王兆丞

Good question!

You might be interested in looking into our Refined for Confluence app, our app allows you to build a customized Confluence documentation site and "promote" specific search results.

You can configure certain key words in our app, and when people are searching for those key words they get the configured recommended search results on top of all the other search results in Confluence.

If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask.

Kind regards,
Lotje
