How do you get the contents of a page with excerpt include macro included in a search

[Jennifer Van Gorkom]

We have a lot of data in Excerpt Macros that we are then combining into more useful pages via the Excerpt Include macro.   Unfortunately when we do a search all we are getting are the pages with the Excerpt macros, not the ones that included the excerpted content.

We are using Confluence Cloud if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to do this.

Currently there is an open ticket:

Thank you for the answer.

Sadly this is not the answer I was looking for.

Right now I am wondering if it would be possible to create such a search as a plugin to the server version of Confluence.

Thanks

In the comments of that issue there's a workaround.  You'll need to buy a plugin but it seems like it has worked for some:

Thanks, if I can talk management into the server version of Confluence that looks like it is the tool to fix our search problem.
