Can you search a space by in-line Status to pull together a report of every Status mention?

Question

I've recently become aware of the inline Status insert functionality (which replaces the status macro). Let's say I made a status that said "2025 Q4" and I inserted it beside a text element. This status could appear in any page in the space (or multiple times).

Can I create a page or report that shows where "2025 Q4" status appears in context? Is there a Macro to "pull in" all instances of the status?  It would be sufficient to have a list of URLs where the status is found, but preferable to have the preceding line of content.

@Peter Arsenault Welcome to the community.

I also wanted to do something like this, but I found that there is no way to do this with inline status macro, just with labels. See my post and the responses here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Creating-a-page-tree-for-pages-with-a-specific-status-on-them/qaq-p/2608342

Hi @Peter Arsenault ,

If I got it right, you'd like to search (and display) all pages that contain Status macro which contains "2025 Q4" string within that macro?

I've managed to get a quite decent list of those by using Atlassian Intelligence in Confluence, but I'm not sure if something like this is possible on the Standard plan, with just using native functionalities and macros 🤔

If not natively, there are probably some decent solutions on the Marketplace that could use some advanced searching (such as CQL search), and with that, you could probably get similar results as with AI.

There are some open suggestions/JAC tickets related to this, so you might want to check those out too.

Cheers,
Tobi
