Adding search keywords to a page

[Thejwal Pavithran]

Hi,

I have a confluence page with an embedded spreadsheet (/table spreadsheet).

I want to be able to display this page as a search result when any content inside the excel is used as a search term. Currently it displays the attachment in the search result which can be confusing. Is there any way to do this ?

Hi @Thejwal Pavithran,

The Table Spreadsheet macro is our macro, and it belongs to the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

The macro is indeed stored as an attachment of your page. You may visit the Attachments section and check it yourself: each .tfss attachment corresponds to each Table Spreadsheet macro. You may also open the list of versions under every attachment and download (and restore later by importing) any previous version of your spreadsheet.



So, the logic of the search engine is correct.
But we’ve got your idea and added it to our backlog, thank you!

Is there any workaround you could think of ? perhaps adding the spreadsheet as a regular table and hiding it so users dont have to see the same spreadsheet twice ?? I tried quite a few things without success

Hi @Thejwal Pavithran ,

As for now, there is no any workaround, I'm afraid.

If you need to search within your tables, you may use native Confluence tables wrapped in the Table Toolbox macro. Inside the macro you'll be able to create different sequences of other macros (Table Filter, Pivot Table, Table Transformer for filtration, aggregation and calculations).

Hey,

That was what I was initially thinking but with the huge number of columns its just not an option. The readers would be super confused.

So, the work around I found was to use /table properties macro and select the "hidden" checkbox and inside the macro, paste the whole spreadsheet. This would then cause the page to be displayed as a search result.
