Search modules help your users find information in Confluence: on a space, a Refined site, or your entire Confluence instance. The Search module is a simple search bar, while the Search Highlight module is a search bar with a background image or colour.
Simple and Advanced Search
Using the search modules you have the option of either doing a simple filter based on space or label, or to create your own filter using Atlassians CQL.
Simple/basic filter
The basic You can add a Search or Search Highlight module to homes on your Refined sites.
Simple filter
The simple filter lets you set filters to show only results from a specific space or label. A search module with basic simple filter looks in content titles and labels: to look in page contents (e.g. the page body), use the advanced filter. Tip: search only the current space with the $spacekey text variable.
Modules with the basic simple filter are context-aware, meaning they search in the site or category that they are placed on.
Advanced filter
