SOQL List Results Indexed in Confluence Search

The SOQL List Macro has been enhanced to improve searchability within Confluence.

Results returned by the SOQL List Macro are indexed by Confluence’s built-in search functionality.

This allows users to search for Salesforce data directly from the Confluence search bar, which will point them to the specific Confluence page containing the macro and its associated Salesforce data.

As an example, consider the following confluence page, using SOQL List Macro to display contacts:

Searching for "Tim Barr" in the SOQL List Macro results will direct users to the specific Confluence page containing the macro.

How often is the search index updated?

The page will be updated with the latest Salesforce data whenever the SOQL List Macro is viewed, provided there have been changes to the data. When this occurs, a new page version will be created with the comment "Index Salesforce macro."

It may take some time for Confluence Cloud to reflect these updates in its search results.

If you would like to test the searchability of your SOQL List Macro, you may copy the existing macro to a new Confluence page. Newly created pages are indexed more quickly by Confluence Cloud.

Please note that:

  • Only the first occurrence of the term in a page will be shown in Confluence's search results

  • Only the first 2,000 items in the list are searchable
