Issue Summary
Content (text or numeric values) inside a table nested within another table is not searchable using Confluence global search.
However, content present directly in the outer (main) table is searchable and returns results correctly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new Confluence page.
- Insert a table (Outer Table).
- Inside one cell of the outer table, insert another table (Nested/Inner Table).
- Add unique text (e.g., NestedTest123) inside the inner table.
- Add different unique text (e.g., OuterTest123) in the outer table.
- Publish the page.
- Use Confluence global search to search for:
-
- OuterTest123 → ✅ Result appears
-
- NestedTest123 → ❌ No results returned
Expected Results
Search should return results for content inside nested tables, same as content inside normal tables.
Actual Results
Search does not return results for content inside nested tables.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
