Search settings
Search has fewer settings than most capabilities, because most of what it can do comes from the other capabilities you have installed rather than from configuration.
The main thing to know is licensing: the standalone Search app is free.
#Settings
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Content indexing | Admin settings | Shows how much of your whole site has been indexed. |
Space Indexing → Index coverage | Admin settings | The same progress bar and buttons, for the current space only. |
Capable Search (standalone app) | App | Free Confluence app with limited features. |
Search (Suite capability) | Capability | The same Search client, included in Capable for Confluence. |
#Free, and what that costs you
Capable Search is a free standalone app, so it never shows a licence panel. What it lacks is the extra search fields, because those come from the other capabilities. On its own it is limited to Confluence's native fields.
Search gets better as you add capabilities. Each one contributes columns, filters and panels it did not have before.
#A few things worth knowing
Hiding the Search capability removes it from the navigation. Existing macros keep working.
Indexing settings appear at both global and space level.
Search does not send notifications and has no per-user preferences.

Free on its own. Better with company.
