How to rank a page to the top search results in Conflunce Server

[Michael M]

Is it possible in Confluence to rank a page so that it's always at the top of the search results for certain keywords/tags?

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Welcome to Community! Confluence search results especially on server are fairly limited. You can use labels or the Page Icnert macro to try and improve them, but unfortenltly server doesn't have the same AI functions Cloud have to help improve search functionality.

As server is planned to go away by 2024 many users need to choose between data center and cloud. If you're company is small enough to still use a server instance I would recommend looking towards Cloud for your future instance as it improves these kinds of functions.

Best,

Clark

Hi Clark,

Thanks for your response.

What are the search results capabilities on data server? Is is also limited compared to Cloud hosting?

Thanks.
