      In Data Center and Server it is possible to search for macros, but in Cloud no similar syntax is available.

            We are developing documentation for users, and it looks like I have to open and view hundreds of pages today to find what macros have been used. A search for macros is a basic feature, please implement it.

            I tried searching for the usage of a specific macro in our Confluence Cloud instance using "macroName=<macro>". Confluence Cloud returned a large list of results, most of which weren't using the macro. I thought my search string was false, did some investigation but couldn't quite get it to work. At some point I started thinking: Hey, maybe it's another one of those things that no longer works in Confluence Cloud and there's a ticket originally reported as Bug 5 years ago and Atlassian turned it into a Feature Request and then closed it and the product manager resigned and it'll never be fixed, etc. The usual process.

            And here's the ticket! YAY!
