Issue Summary
When searching for links in Confluence, no results are shown. The usage of wildcards or escaping characters in wildcard searches as suggested in our documentation does not work as expected. Here is the documentation:
Searching for http://, https:// or any combination of those, will return all links present in your instance. Keep in mind that searching for http or https will return the links that are not secure or are secure, respectively.
In HTTP
In HTTPS
Searching for http or http* returns the same results, even though a wildcard has been added.
Also, as soon as the rest of the link is inserted (everything after ://), the page that contains the link is no longer shown in the results, with or without wildcards:
Only Http
Rest of the link with wildcard
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new page
- Insert an external link (example: https://mynewlink.com/guest)
- Publish the page
- Search for *mynewlink*, /.*mynewlink.*/, mynewlink or any other combination
Expected Results
The search results contain the page in which the link was placed.
Actual Results
No results are found
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
