Logic of searching results in Confluence??
Asked by Martin Flury:

Our Confluence Space is named "CP20-0442-M3 ...."

I got it tha Confluence can not handle the - in the space name, but I don't get it why I do find the space when searching 0442 but but not when searching 442 ??

![example 10.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/228647i851A921F5FFD9259/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example 10.png")

Some other examples with searching for:

20-044 -\> no resutls found  
20-0442 -\> CP**20-0442** -M3 ... is being found  
Why is 20-044 not being found? and with just one digit more 20-0442 is getting a result?!![example 9.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/228648i8E5D9521524E9FC1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example 9.png")![example 13.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/228649i056538A09188ED6B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example 13.png")

I don't get the logic of this search syntax.

And why is Jira and Confluence searching so different, if both are using Lucene?  
Fist picture searching in Confluence, seccond picture searching in Jira.  
Just WHY?

![example 15.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/228653iF1004B0DEFE0E7CC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example 15.png")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Lucene does not search in one single way, it can be used to index things differently

In Jira, you're using a search coded for fragments and it's been asked to do some numeric searches. Confluence focuses on words, so 0442 and 442 look like very different words to it.

comments: author: Martin Flury
body: So if you to not type in the complet word (correctly), Confluence won't finde it?  
Even with \*442 I do not get a result.  
It is a bit frustrating that confluence does not allow leading wildcards.

User-friendly would be, if I know a section of the space name, that \*442\* would bring some searching results, no matter what's befor or after 442.

A workaround is using /.\*442.\*/, but this is a ver unsexy solution I have to explain to our users how to search in Confluence.

Perhaps this page <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html> will help you on this.

comments: author: Martin Flury
body: Thanks for this link, found that also.

I don't like the fact the Confluence is not allowing leading wildcards.

And probably we are screwed the way we name our spaces.  
As our machine serialnumbers are set up in sections, divided with minus (CP12-3456-78).  
Minus (-) in a search has its own function (exclude) ...

Oauth impersonation and OAuth - differences
Asked by ?????????? ???? ?????????????:

Hi!

<br />

Tell me, please, what is the difference between OAuth and Oauth impersonation?

Confluence and jira are now connected via OAuth. For one plugin to work correctly, you need to change the connection to Oauth impersonation.

What can it affect? For example, will someone stop seeing reports or tasks in confluence from jira


Answers:
author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi [@?????????? ???? ?????????????](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4995313)

[Here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/applinks/oauth-security-for-application-links-774045732.html) is an explanation of both and their differences as well.

The key is with Oauth with impersonation, the username has to be the same on both instances and when I attempt to access instance B from instance A, instance B checks the user with the same username exists and if yes, uses the token given from instance A to let the user into it.

The user will still only have the same privileges as is configured in instance B.

I will therefore use Oauth **without** impersonation only if the user has differing usernames between the products so they can login again each time.

Attachments are missing
Asked by SaravanaKumar:

We tried importing a space of 5GB. During migration, the attachments got migrated and the migration failed in the Database exporting stage it said it can't able to roll back the attachments.  

When we performed migration for the second time, since the attachments have got migrated already it jumps into the database export stage and migration seems to be successful.  

But when we go and check in the cloud space all the attachments are found to be missing.I can't retrieve the attachments that are migrated during the first migration.  

What is the workaround for this scenario and what is the load capacity that CCMA can handle, we are now having a huge space of 59GB. Do CCMA is capable of handling data around 59GB?

author: Trudy Claspill
body: There is a way that you might be able to work around this.

The list of fields available in Confluence contains only the fields where there are a defined set of values.

You could create a custom field of type Single Selection List. You could populate it with values that correspond to the Satisfaction values. You could then use Automation to set the custom field based on the Satisfaction value.

In Confluence the custom field you created would show up as a grouping options for the Jira Pie Chart.

That will present you with a screen of default Space Permissions and a list of all spaces on the instance.

Next to the space in question there should be a link for Manage Permissions or Recover Permissions. Use that to give yourself permission to the space.

Asciidoc inline images
Asked by Jimi Viita-aho EFECTE:

Hello!

Asciidoc supports natively inline images in the content. What's the proper way of inlining such media resources in confluence asciidoc?

The following ways do not work:

```
image:/wiki/download/attachments/<page-id>/image1.png[
```

```
image:./image1.png[]
```

I did upload the image to the document below the asciidoc macro as image1.png. I tried to get the url of the media resource but the file name seems to become unpredictable uuid and I assume there is a proper way of linking those resources into the asciidoc source without having to replace for example the image1.png with the uuid of the resource.

Conditional Formatting in Confluence table spreadsheets
Asked by Mo Ullah:

I've spent 2 hours trying to figure this out but no luck. I have a table in Confluence. Im using the table spreadsheet macro. Looks like its running google sheets because the formulas match the ones in google sheets. Anyways, I'm trying to conditionally highlight cells containing dates that are \<today()

[Screenshot of columns from confluence](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mpeve.png) As you can see its highlighting wrong cells for some reason. I selected the range --\> conditional formatting --\> New Rule --\> Use formulas to determine which cells to format --\> then i entered this formula in the box "F8\<today()". F8 is the first cell on the second column. Why is it not highlighting the first cell which is less than today()? The formatting functionality within table spreadsheets is limited unlike google sheets. [enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/q1ZY7.png)


Answers:
author: Natalie Paramonova [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Mo Ullah](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5092122) ,

The current one is 9.5.2. If yours is an older one, please update.

In recent versions there indeed were some issues with the today() function, your question may have the same root of the problem.

Here is how your condition works for me (the app version is 9.5.2, today is 2/12/2022):

comments: author: Mo Ullah
body: Hi Natalie,

Thanks for the response! How do I check the version? I'm not an admin so I will have to contact our admins to update the app.

Another thing I noticed is that even if I use the conditional format "Date" to highlight and exact date, it does not match.

Thanks,

Mo


author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi [@Mo Ullah](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5092122) , welcome to the Community!

I'm not familiar with conditional formatting in the Spreadsheet Macro by setting formulas so I can't confirm the formulas are matching those in Google Sheets. (The guys from Stiltsoft, the app vendor, will probably step into this thread to clarify this.)

Even if there is this match, you might check if your formula is working after you set the particular column to the appropiate date format just in case your data is not automatically recognized.

Add content to the native "Page information" page
Asked by Daniel Engzell:

Is it possible to add additional content to the native "Page information" page within Confluence?

Native page: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/view-page-information-139408.html>

For example, if I would like to have a new field in there and manually assign a "Document owner" that then can be reported on. This person can/would be someone other than the page "Author".


Answers:
author: WW
body: You'd have to be a developer in order to pull that off.

What you're asking for is not natively available.

Depending on what you want to use it for, you could possibly use a [Page Properties macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html) instead and have it hidden (or not).

That wouldn't involve any development, but it'd make the value, like Document owner, somewhat queryable in Confluence using the [Page Properties Report macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html).

You could setup a template that already has the macro and table with fields you want to capture. Then use the [Create from template macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-from-template-macro-317196995.html).

If you go this route, don't forget to add a label to each page.

It's a round about way of doing things, but requires no coding skills.

comments: author: Nicolai Sibler
body: As a complementary explanation [@Daniel Engzell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4409251), the Page Information page displays metadata resulting from what happened on the page. Therefore, it cannot be edited directly.

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the aspect that [@WW](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1209024) has mentioned: It probably makes a lot of sense to list the page owners on an overview page and this will likely be difficult to realize even if it should be possible to edit the Page Information page.

Inherited owners make the management of ownership much easier and much more consistent than working non-inherited labels or metadata. You can try it *free* to be sure that it works better in your team and Confluence instance.

Invite members with SSO in a private workspacs

comments: author: Elena Taglio
body: Hi [@Vero Rivas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3912760)

First of all, thank you for your answer.

I have SSO modality active with a certain domain, but if I share the link of the board to an external email address (different domain), everybody can access the board. So, if someone in the organization receives the link and then shares it outside, the link can be opened by everyone.

I can't declare the domain because this belongs to the company's group.

If you have any suggestions, I will appreciate it.

Cheers
