When you perform a search in SharePoint:

  • By default, all searches will return content from both Confluence and Sharepoint.
  • The results will be ordered by relevance, regardless of which system they are from.

To search for Confluence and SharePoint content from a SharePoint page,

In SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010:

  1. Select 'All Sites' in the search scope option. Note that your search scope cannot be 'This Site' or 'This List'.
  2. Enter your search words and click the 'Go Search' icon. Here is an example of the SharePoint search box:
  3. The search results page will open, showing the Confluence federated search results web part.

In SharePoint 2013 enter your search terms in the Search field and click the Search icon.
