Confluence search: does not find content in panel or codeblock macro

Question

It seems that it is not possible to search for content that is incluede within a panel or code-block macro. I want to search for a text included in such a macro, but do not receive any results at all.

Can anyone confirm this or has a solution ready?

Confluence Server 5.10.1

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot.

Too bad that the wildcard is not included automatically at the beginning and end of each search term. Well, good to know now to explain it to our users.

This is the desired behaviour for searching in Confluence. If you don't add a wildcard, Confluence searches for the exact phrase. Look here:

I just figured out that it is a different problem than initially thought.

Especially in code-blocks often words are not separated by a space, e.g., ConfluenceHandler.this

Searching for "ConfluenceHandler" will not show any results, however searching for "ConfluenceHandler*" does.
