- More accurate and relevant results: The old index search feature performed searches on Confluence's cached search indexes. Now the federated searches use Confluence's own search engine to conduct 'live' searches, resulting in more accurate, better ordered and more relevant search results.
- More comprehensive searches: Federated searches include Confluence metadata such as page labels, author details and comments.
- Improved Confluence performance: The old index search feature 'crawls' through Confluence's cached search indexes, which can impact Confluence's performance significantly. The new federated search feature only requires Confluence to perform a live search when a search is issued in SharePoint. This has much less impact on Confluence's performance.
- Confluence permissions respected: The new federated search function 'trims' search results more accurately than the old integrated index search feature. A 'trimmed' search result shows only Confluence content that the current user has permission to view through their Confluence account. This feature works across multiple Confluence installations too.
