            This doesn't work with Forge macros.

            The workaround we have found is to use the REST APIs

            https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-search/#api-wiki-rest-api-search-get

            specifying a CQL

            macro=macro_name

            It's insane to me that this has been removed in Cloud. This is a crucial feature and the fact that it is not available by now is seriously concerning.

             

            Is there any information, workarounds or otherwise ideas on how to make this possible? It's a mission critical feature for us.

            Hi everyone,

            I am one of those users that were forced to move to Confluence Cloud when Confluence Server was EOS in February. I find it very strange that this issue was changed from bug to feature request. It should have been fixed immediately!

            Being able to perform advanced searches are vital when working with documentation. It is not some fancy "nice to have" feature - it is a fundamental feature that should have been available before the Confluence Server was EOS-ed. This is especially important since several of the macros that we used in Confluence Server are not available in Confluence Cloud or is not yet being supported by one of the Atlassian partners. When I can't search for a macro, I have to manually go through each page, looking for the macro in question - and I am maintaining documentation with thousands of pages!

            Please fix this.
