Confluence - Features – Search
Everything is searchable. Everything.
Find it. Now.
Everything in Confluence is searchable — pages, blogs, news items, comments, emails, attachments, people.
If it's in Confluence, you can find it fast using the search box conveniently located at the top of every page.

Look inside
Did we say attachments? Yes, Confluence will even look inside the files you attach: so whether the information you are looking for is sitting on a Confluence page, or buried deep inside an attached PDF, Confluence will find it for you. Confluence can search the contents of:
- Microsoft Word documents
- PDF files
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
- HTML, XML, source and text files
- ZIP files
Powerfully simple
The simple search interface gives you the power to find what you need faster. Narrow the search down to exactly what you are looking for — search by space, type of space (e.g. exclude all personal spaces), the type of content and/or the date it was last modified.
Usage example: Search for all attachments containing the word "logo" that were added to the Marketing space last week.
Save your searches
Confluence allows you to embed a live search directly in any page, a simple way to collect every page that covers a particular subject.
Put a face to the name
Confluence gives you a built-in 'People Directory' — a convenient list of everyone in your site.
