{column:width=60%}{excerpt}Confluence can search content including pages, blog posts, emails, Microsoft Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, PDF documents, and more.{excerpt}
\\
\\

As well as using the search box at the top right of every Confluence page for ad hoc searches, you can use the '[Search' macro|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/9yAC] to embed particular search results in a particular page.
\\

E.g. you could use the following code to find content that contains the word 'tutorial': 
{code}
{search:tutorial}
{code}
... giving this:
\\
{search:tutorial}
{column}
{column}
{info:icon=false}
The Confluence search engine is based on [Lucene|http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene]. It begins working as soon as you install Confluence and can build search indices on a wide range of document types: blogs, pages, comments, attachments, etc.

For more information about performing a search on your Confluence content, please see the [documentation|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/CCEC].
