Disabling People from displaying in the Quick Nav

[brett deline]

We have a requirement with our confluence installation that people are not searchable. We have been able to disable the people directory and other pieces of functionality pertaining to showing users to a non-admin confluence user. However, when using the Quick Nav/Search in the upper right corner of confluence we have been unable to figure out a way to prevent people from being searched on. We know we can disable 'Quick Navigation' altogether, but we want pages/spaces/etc. to still be searchable. Anyone know a way of that this can be done?

Thanks.

Ok, I'm sure this is posted somewhere else but in order to limit the type of results coming back from the server, I hooked into the QuickNav widget using javascript. I went into the admin and went to 'Look and Feel -> Custom HTML'. I edited at the 'End of Body' HTML and added this code:

<script language="javascript">
Confluence.QuickNav.setMakeParams(function(value){
    return {
        query: value,
        type: ['page','attachment']
    }
}); 
</script>

The 'type' key is the magic part. The search results will only return results that match either pages or attachments.

I hope this helps someone else out.

Hi Brett

thanks for sharing the answers. This solves an issue we are having. Did you find a way how to disable the type-ahead in the share-functionality? There, users are visible too.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this?
