Capable Search

A "Dates" column (a count pill of dates found on each result page) and a "Calendar" side panel subtitled "View dates from the page", badged with the number of dates found. Ships in both products.


#Worth knowing

Both under-count: they do not recognise Capable Event macros and count only Confluence's own dates.


#Where you do it

Capable Search in dark mode with a results table on the left and a page side panel on the right, where a Calendar section badged five dates lists past items such as production deployment, UAT complete
The page side panel carries a Calendar section that counts the dates found on a page and lists them in date order.
