How do I export the Confluence search results listing the pages?

[Greg Manssourian]

My company uses Confluence for documentation.

When I search on a topic from Confluence top right, I get large result set of links to confluence pages.

I would like to export the search result listing so that I can click on the links one a time to study the page and not lose my place as I go down the list.

Hi @Greg Manssourian and welcome to the community,

Use REST API for this:

https://REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=type=page&limit=25

For the CQL statement read more here https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/ and from the above https request, replace the cql=type=page, with the cql you want to search e.g. with the title (https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/cql-field-reference/#title)

It might help to think of Confluence search as really two searches, there's that quick search  search box up at the top in the navigation bar and then there's advanced search. I think you really want the advanced search, and can get there by tapping into the quick search box in the top right and then immediately hitting return, (or entering your search, and hitting return). The key is hitting return. Now you're in a more standard search result page, and you can click into a result, and hit the back button and return to your result list, and click into the next result etc.

Thank you for the response.

Either search result lists 3800 pages.

The review will take weeks therefore the search will need to get regenerated each time I log into my machine and run search again.

I lose my place in the search results because from time to time the order of the result is different and there is no way to mark where I left off in the review.

Whoa, that is a funky use case, you're manually going through all 3800? Interesting.
