Confluence Page Tree Search macro results - how are they ordered?

[SUKANTAJ]

As per document starting from a specified parent (root) page and return the search results.

But are they ordered alphabetically, in order of date last updated, size of page/file

What affects a document's score?

All documents have the same chance to appear in search results. Weightings are made up of the following:

Document Age

Newer Documents will be given a slightly higher score than older documents. Keep in mind that doesn't mean that newer documents will appear first, just that they give a slightly higher weight.

Title

Confluence will look at the number of words within a title (excluding minor words, such as "the", "and" etc), and will check how many times a word appears in the title.

Content

As with the title, Confluence will look at the number of words within the content, and check how many times the number of words appear in the content.

Popularity

Popular pages are those that have more incoming links. A page that has more incoming links will be ranked higher than other pages that share similar content.
