How can I access the full-page / advanced search directly? (no use of search bar in header)

[Markus Raab]

Do you have any idea how to reach this search page directly?

Without using the quick search in the header

Without the error message "Oops, something went wrong..."

Confluence Server 6.2.4

Markus,

It will always show that error message if there is no search term, otherwise you'll have to do something like this:

CONFLUENCE-BAESE/dosearchsite.action?queryString=confluence

I have created a feature request below for your suggestion, so please vote on it and comment there with your usage case, and why this would be important for your team.

Thank you for your help!

Hi!

voted for it and added my opinion about it that explains the situation.

It's probably not something that gets found that easily by others, thus it probably would take years to receive enough votes. Can I do anything to push it a bit? It's such a little thing (actually).

Markus,

I do believe it's something that users see every day but haven't been bothered too much by it enough to request a change. Probably now that there's a feature request it will get more votes if there are users that want to change the behavior.

Kind regards,

Shannon
