Replace confluence default header search with custom search

Replace confluence default header search with custom search. Please suggest a way.

Hello Sahil, 

As Fabio mentions, on Cloud you cannot modify, change or replace the header or the Search functions of Confluence. Perhaps at most you can add Search Macros from other vendors and set them up to your objectives.

On-premise this is possible to an extent using third-party macros and css, but unfortunately, you won't be able to achieve that on Cloud.

Best regards
Rodrigo

Thanks @Rodrigo

Not sure what is macro. Is it something we can add additional functionality on confluence default search?

[Rodrigo]

My apologies, as I offered more information than necessary. On Cloud, there are no macros that can alter Confluence at all. Only for on-premise you can modify that a bit, as you already noticed in your other question regarding Swiftype.

Hi @Sahil Chandel ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Unfortunately you can edit the toolbar in Confluence. In order to perform a custom search you need to click on the search area and then on "Confluence advanced search".

Hope this helps,

Fabio
