Filter Navigation Pages
If you search for a term like "Role" or "Stakeholder" you'll get plenty of hits. This is because the Core Doctypes provide doctypes with this name. For each space there may be a home page and an index page for each of these doctypes and these pages also contain the string "Role" or "Stakeholder". In addition to those, there are also home pages and index pages for the corresponding type doctype, like "Role Type" and "Stakeholder Type". So these pages will also clutter your search result.
Home page and index pages typically have only navigation purposes. Readers know where to look for a list of roles or the address book of stakeholders. When searching for "Role" or "Stakeholder" these navigation pages should not show up as search results. Only destination pages, containing actual relevant information, should.
Confluence does not distinguish between destination pages and navigation pages. The projectdoc Toolbox provides navigation pages by the doctype named docsection. This makes it easy to remove these pages from the search results.
Instead of
"Stakeholder" -Doctype: docsection
you would type the following:
"Stakeholder" -Doctype: docsection
Now Confluence will only return destination pages related to "Stakeholder" and remove all navigation pages from the result set.
