Here's how you can refine your search. Confluence will ignore common words like "the" unless you place your query within quotes. Exact phrase search To search for content that contains the exact phrase "chalk and cheese"
"chalk and cheese"
Or Search To search for content that contains one of the terms, "chalk" OR "cheese"
chalk OR cheese And Search To search for content that contains both the terms "chalk" AND "cheese"
chalk AND cheese Not search To search for content that contains "chalk" but NOT "cheese"
chalk NOT cheese Excluded Term search Similar to the NOT search, to search for content that contains "chalk" and "butter" but NOT "cheese"
chalk butter -cheese Grouping Search To search for content that MUST contain "chalk" but CAN contain either "cheese" or "butter" use the search:
(cheese OR butter) AND chalk Title Search To search for content with "chalk" in its title, where title is the field keyword.
title:chalk Wild card searches Single character To search for "butter" or "batter" you can use the search:
