Searching corporate wiki is pretty difficult, because contrary to something like Google, you can't use context of a search query to recommend content.<p>* First you have a few occurrence of the same search query in your search history (because only a few people searched similar words in the past)<p>* You can't either use synonyms of remove stop words to recommend better content (IT, can means "information technology, or the pronoun. THE can be an acronym, ...).<p>So basically the only thing you can do is search words. Confluence is worse than that because it tries to remove stop words and do things that break exact match search. But this is a difficult job. Ways to improve search: allow multi titles, index with tags, attributes, only do exact words match, allow users to suggest content for a specific search query, search autocompletion, searching in live during typing ... (many things that Confluence doesn't care about). You also have to respect rights when returning documents, each documents, can have rights from folder or document itself, inherited from team access or user access, so this is really computation intensive too, or pre-compute rights<p>(Working on a competitor [0] of Confluence and I have put plenty of hours of work on that specific issue, and I can tell you this is really hard)<p>[0] <a href="https://dokkument.com" rel="nofollow">https://dokkument.com</a>
