Confluence Search Sites without specific label

Benjamin Trablé

Hi guys,

how can I perform the following search in Confluence Cloud: I want to find all blog posts in a space that have “Release 1.8.3” in the title (e.g. "Revision Billing Assistent - Release 1.8.3") and that do NOT contain a specific label (e.g. “editing_done”).

With Confluence Onpremise, this was possible via the advanced search with JQL search:
title ~ "release 1.8.3" and not label = editing_done

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks and regards

There's no direct, user accessible CQL search in Confluence.  You'd need to use the API or use an addon.

What you can do is go to the Ask AI and type it in the way you would type CQL and it will parse it out for you pretty well. 



Obviously for me there is nothing because this doesn't exist in my instance, but you should try it in yours

I would recommend using 2 labels, one for finished and one for unfinished to make this easier for you. that way in advanced search instead of that does not include finished label you can just choose the unfinished label from the label dropdown.
