Can I limit the sidebar search to current space only? Even after a search?

Question

I want to limit what my search results show to the current space only. The reasoning is we need to limit our users to the current version of the space.

I want to remove the ability to switch spaces or search all spaces and I want the search sidebar to be limited to the current space.

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the reply

Here you can see my Livemacro

@{livesearch:spaceKey=@self|size=medium|placeholder=Search this space}

So this will initially only search the current space @self. But after you search you can see this screen:

You can just "X" out of the space and then search anywhere in the instance.

Any Ideas?

I believe so. I'm not sure what you mean about the search sidebar, but if you go into edit a page and you clock on the macro you can see Search Options. Just change the "Restrict to this Space Key" to the key of your Knowledge Base or Space.
