When a user is searching Confluence (see Using the Quick Navigation Aid) the quick navigation aid automatically offers a dropdown list of pages and other items, matched by title to the search query. By default, this feature is enabled, with the maximum number of simultaneous quick navigation requests set to 40. However, these options can be modified as described below.

The maximum number of simultaneous quick navigation requests defines the maximum number of individuals who can use this feature simultaneously on the same Confluence server. If your Confluence server serves a large number of individuals who use this feature regularly, some of whom are being denied access to it, you may wish to increase this value.

To modify the quick navigation feature's options,

  1. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console':

    • Choose Browse > Confluence Admin. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
    • Enter your password and click Confirm. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
  2. Select 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
  3. In the 'General Configuration' screen, click 'Edit'.
  4. To disable this feature, select 'Off' beside 'Quick Navigation'.
  5. To modify the maximum number of simultaneous quick navigation requests, enter the appropriate number in the field beside 'Max Simultaneous Requests'.
  6. Click 'Save'.

The following screenshot demonstrates the user interface of the quick navigation aid.
