How can I search for a particular status in Confluence cloud

[Yves Berquin [Matrix Requirements]]

We are using the status macro to add some tags in Confluence (cloud) page.

We know that you can find pages containing that macro with:

macroName:status

But how can we find the content of the status?

Hi Yves,

The content of the status macro is not currently searchable. There's a feature request for this below:

• CONFCLOUD-31884

I do know that Stiltsoft makes an add-on that you can use with tables including status macro, and this might help you in some way?

• Table Filter and Charts for Confluence

Regards,

Shannon

Thank you Shannon,

This will allow me to ... stop searching ... ;)

No worries, Yves! I tried a few different methods but I was not successful in any of them.

If you had Server you might be able to search in the database but I don't think this would meet your requirements for the feature.

Another way would be to use the REST API but like we say in French it's a cannon to kill a fly.

That's an accurate statement!

If you want to share later what you did at least to get it via REST API it could potentially help future users, even if it is overkill! :)
