NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
In large organizations, people come and go. People who have left have their user IDs disabled. The search screen will not let you entry the name of a user that is disabled. This is preventing us from finding content created by people who have left the organization. This is a major problem with replacement staff who attempt to pickup from where their predecessor left off.
As it stands now, when a user is disabled, they will not appear in the Contributor section of the search page. Since there have been previous requests to hide disabled users, it may be best to include a checkbox (or a toggle-switch) of some kind to include/exclude disabled users for the Contributor search.

[CONFSERVER-41303] Allow searching for content contributed or created by disabled user
8 years and counting. The product should never have gotten through QA in the first place with such a severe defect.
couple years old, is there a solution? Jane Doe just left the company, how can I search Confluence for user pages after that user is no longer in our MS Active Directory?
Thanks,

One of the most important feature in Confluence for current generation while people leave the position every few years
I bet this 'feature' is available in a paid add-on that Atlassian will receive a kick-back on!

It is crucial to be able to track pages authored by someone who left the company.
For Jira you can do:
reporter = name or assignee = name or text ~ '(part of) name' order by created DESC
But for Confluence what is the trick to get hold on documents where the left employee worked on/created? It's essential...
