Search by attachment extension with CQL

[Markus Weigelt (MAWESO)]

I would like to search for PDF attachments via CQL. Unfortunately I have not found a way.


The options found so far only concern Confluence Server/Data Center but not Confluence Cloud.

Does anyone have a tip on how to do this?

Hi @Markus Weigelt (MAWESO) 

If you interested on a high qualtiy search solution for Confluence, iFinder Confluence Search for Confluence Cloud is now available at Atlassian Marketplace. It helps even the confluence user without expert knowledge to search quite intuitively.

Of course, it also supports Boolean (and many other) search operators. But the search UI provides many easy to click search functions, so you probably don't need an operator.

This AI-based enterprise search solution delivers top results based on linguistic analysis and offers many additional features. Also a dashboard is available where you can found your previous searches, your saved searches and favorites.

Best Regards,

Robby

Thanks for the ad block but I would like to find the attachment direct via the built-in mechanism. Respectively I think this should be a built-in mechanism.

Thx yes I read this article any did some trys to search extension for but it does not work. 

Unfortunately the article is from 2021 and describes that searching for attachment extensions doesn't work in Cloud. He raised an issue but without information about.

So I search for informations or examples to accomplish finding attachments by extension.
