I share in this post an annoyance in Confluence Search and how to workaround it using the NWS PowerTool QuickSearch feature implemented in AutoHotkey.
Problem description
You have certainly encountered this annoyance in Confluence Search:
while searching for a word, Confluence only returns exact matches.
For example, searching for "Verteiler" won't return the page containing "Verteilerliste".
Solution
Manually
Remember to append a wildcard at the end of the word for a partial match and if you want to use a leading wildcard, revert to a RegExp syntax surrounding the search expression with / /.
In RegExp a wildcard matches '.*'.
AutoHotkey PowerTool Confluence QuickSearch AHK
I have implemented an additional feature in my NWS PowerTool Confluence Quick Search feature.
It will look for a leading wildcard and convert the string to a regexp (i.e. putting '/' around it and replacing wildcards with .*)
