Display search results in a pop up

[Volker Blum]

Hi everybody, I work on a help page for a Service Center. They are used to type a keyword in a search bar, receive a list of pages as links and klick on them to see, if this page is helpful. If not - the use browser back and start again.

I am looking for a macro/addon or whatever that gives the opportunity to have a preview of the page (or better the entire page) in a pop up window. 

This is possible with static pages, but not from a search result list.

Any idea how to solve that? 

Thanks a lot in advance

Volker

(best case: this also works on server...but I am happy for any hint)

Hi @Volker Blum 

Content formatting macros for Confluence provides pop-up and alert macros.

But I'm not sure if this is what you need.

Hello Zoriana,

thanks for your support. Unfortunatly this is not the solution I am looking for. 

What I have in mind is this process:

enter keyword in a search bar

receive a list of pages containing the keyword

when clicking the page link the page opens in a pop up on the same page.

In all macros, that I know, the link in a search result list re-directs you to the new page. Thhis is what I would like to avoid.

Maybe you have another idea.

But anyway, your help is highly appreciated.

Have a nice weekend. 

Cheers Volker
