Hello,
Our team has been using some of the new Confluence features to organise our work, including the Folders functionality as described here:
https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs/news/2024/11/48-why-folders-in-confluence-are-a-big-deal
Previously, and in many places still, we used the older method of a parent page that acts as a folder to contain all the pages beneath it.
This does create a redundant page, but you can add a child page tree and a search box (specifically searching pages beneath it) to the container page, and you can use the Advanced Search features to search for "Content under" a specific page - that is, effectively, content within the pseudo folder.
I can't see a way to search for content within one of the actual folders. Advanced Search lets you specify "Type: Folder" but this searches for the folders themselves, not for pages within those folders.
How does one search for content within a folder? One of the benefits of folders cited on the blog page above is "Improved searchability" (on the basis that folders don't show up in the results if you're searching for pages) but this seems as though it's a big step backwards in searchability. There must be a way to do it that I'm missing?
Specifically I am trying to find pages within this folder that were updated after a certain date - which I can do using the options on the Advanced Search page, if using a parent page as a container, instead of a folder.
(There is a similar post from 2018, below but it doesn't answer the question, and I started a new one because I think I am talking about a different, newer Folder feature than this post.
