Performing searches in Confluence

[Michele C]

We are using Confluence to document various support/error issues. As a page title, I have the following:

An error occurred in starting the session - Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL - DefaultAppPool'.

The actual error has a slash. I cannot use a \ in the page name due to page character restrictions. In the page's content, I am able to specify the exact error:
An error occurred in starting the session - Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'.

When performing a search, does Confluence only search on the page title? Someone on our team tried to do a search on 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'. No pages were found.

Is there a way to search on the page's content rather than the title? I do not understand how labels are used. Could adding labels help in the search? I was able to add:

'IIS

APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'


When performing a search, however, the topic was still not found.
Are there any existing feature requests to search on the page content?


Thank you for your help.

Sorry, about the red. It was red when I edited the question. I found out now how to change it.

Thank you. Your solution worked!

ugh, red, not nice to read

Try IIS APPOOL\\Defaultapppool - the slash may be being interpreted as a control character. The page content is already being searched, it's just not finding it because of the \
