Page Tree Search Macro
Add the Page Tree Search macro to a page to provide users with a way to search for pages in a specific page hierarchy.
This macro is useful when you want to provide a way to search:
- one section of the current space, such as in a knowledge base
- a specific part of a page hierarchy, such as one project in a space that contains multiple projects.
After someone enters a keyword and clicks the Search button on this macro, the results are presented on Confluence's advanced search screen.
