Release Notes

New features and improvements in Search for Confluence, newest first.

#2026

# (8.40.0)

  • Set a page status from the Info panel in the sidebar, even when the page has no status yet.

  • Search tables size columns to their content and keep column widths you set when new results load.

  • The title column stays pinned only when the table is too wide to fit, and headers stay solid while scrolling.

  • Result ranges and numbers use your locale's format, for example 1,001-1,025 of 3,400.

# (8.39.0)

  • Picking a CQL value with several words replaces the whole value, not just the word at the cursor.

  • Matching values appear above AND and OR in CQL suggestions.

# (8.37.0)

  • Anonymous and unlicensed visitors reading public pages can now see the app's macros and pages.

# (8.36.0)

  • Write CQL faster with live autocomplete for fields, operators and values, plus inline syntax hints.

  • Choose who can edit each saved search individually, rather than all-or-nothing across the app.

# (8.21.0)
