Is there a way to search for a particular term in the confluence and export the search results?

[Hema Vinodhkumar]

We are using Confluence for our Product documentation and there is a need to find a particular term (for e.g. services) and replace it (for e.g. Services). We need to do this across many spaces. Is there a way or a macro that I can search for this term and export the search results as a report to track all the pages where the replacement has to be done?

Hi @Hema Vinodhkumar ,

our search solution "iFinder Confluence Search" can do this as well. 

You can start a case sensitive search (overall spaces), set several search filters (like spaces, Labels, etc.) and you will get your result list. this result list can also be exported (csv). 

With the excellent search function and search results of "iFinder Confluence Search" your desire to restructure may be unnecessary. 

This article could be helpfull for you:

• iFinder Confluence Search
• iFinder Search Macro

Let me know, if you need more information or like to get a demo.

Best

Robby

Hi @Hema Vinodhkumar Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This will require some development efforts. Assuming that you are using Confluence Server, you can use REST API endpoints to scan pages in your confluence spaces and search for a string in those pages and then update them. Please refer REST API Documentation here
