- Run
app:confluence space:plus a space key. Note the result count. - Add
author:to scope to the page's likely owner. - Add
label:to keep only pages the team tagged for a purpose. - Compare the labeled result against the unfiltered one — which is canonical?
Working Example: Confluence Facets
Confluence groups pages into spaces and lets teams tag them with labels; app:confluence selects the source and each facet matches that structure. Verified against datasource_filters.
app:confluence space:ENG onboarding
→ every onboarding-ish page in Engineering, drafts and all
app:confluence space:ENG label:onboarding author:@lin
→ Lin's onboarding pages tagged for that purpose — the maintained set
app:confluence space:OPS label:runbook incident
→ only pages the Ops team labeled "runbook" about incidentsA label: facet finds the official page because labels are deliberate: a team tags the canonical runbook so it stands apart from the dozen drafts that mention the same words. The label is intent the author put there for exactly this lookup. Verified against datasource_filters.
