How do I pass a search term from a Confluence page to Jira?

Red Lloyd April 11, 2024

This is what I want to do:

I have a Confluence Knowledge Base set up.  In Confluence, I already have a search page with a Livesearch box with the proper spaceKey for my Knowledge Base.  Enter a term in the Livesearch box, it gives you page links back.  Fine.

I'm trying to also set up a search for Jira issues.  I know if I set up a link to our URL with JQL to specify the projects, I can get to a Jira search page with a box to enter a search term or terms that will only search those projects.

But I don't want to send my users to that search page; I want to have a box in which they enter their search term and get a return of Jira pages that match that term, limited to our projects.

Can Confluence handle this?

No, appreciate the attempt, but that doesn't help.  That would create a list of issues in the Confluence page.  In other words, it creates a static list based on *my search term*, which is hardcoded in the query.

What I'm trying to do is have a box on a Confluence page that allows the user to input a search term *on the Confluence page* and receive a list of Jira issues that match the *user's* search term, dynamically.
