We have a page in a team space that has the words "Azure Data Factory" in a page multiple times, yet when we search for this:

Why is search not working across confluence for this? The page is not restricted and was made over a week ago. 
I dont see many settings around search indexing in the admin portal so not sure on what could be wrong here.

Hi Dan,

It does sound a bit like that, but I have tried it with quotes too and that also doesnt return anything

Whats interesting is that the search in the top right does bring back results:

Its just that when you go to the "advanced" search view no matches can be found.

Hi @Will Ellis welcome to the community.  I recreated that issue in my space.  I did find CONFCLOUD-78260 which sounds similar, but I'll let you decide.

I just pasted Azure Data Factory on to a page a few times and then tried to find it and it did not.  Then I put quotes around it, and it found it right away.  

I also found this article from Atlassian on Confluence Searches and it mentions using quotations when searching for multiple words.

Hope that helps.
