Hello Muhammad,

Thank you for raising this question with us.

According to the information returned when I type /confluence help:

/confluence search <text>: Search for the content in linked sites

The command will search your Confluence site for that text. It does not limit it to labels, and there doesn't appear to be a way to specify the label in your search. Can you tell me about the results you received but weren't expecting?

As a workaround, I found a 3rd-party add-on called Obie that uses Confluence's built-in search in tangent with Slack. They wrote a blog article on this process. You can install the add-on from their listing on Atlassian Marketplace if you want to try it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Take care,

Shannon

Hi Shannon,

Thanks you for answering my question.

I had created several pages in confluence under a specific label, lets say "kubernetes-manual". So I expected that those pages link are shown in the result when I typed 

/confluence search kubernetes-manual

But none of my pages was listed in the result, Its only show some other pages that may have "kubernetes" or "manual" word

 

Thanks for the suggesstion, I will check Obie page to explore it.


Regards,

Fardan

Hi Fardan,

Thank you for clarifying that. The integration is a basic text search of the page content, and so it doesn't look at labels. You can confirm this if you put the kubernetes-manual text into a page and see if it returns the page.

I hope this helps!

Take care,

Shannon
