Does Confluence index text of links?

[Péter Hendlein]

I have a link to an anchor (#sometext) and the displayed text is sometext. (anchor ID without #). If I search 'sometext' there is no result. What's the problem?

Indexing works for normal words.

I was having a similar issue in 5.10 but rebuilding the content index fixed the problem.

You might misunderstand me. There is a page, where I declare an anchor, ID is sometext. I created a link to this anchor from other page: Link: page#sometext Link text: sometext My requirement: searching to sometext will find other page, because link text is sometext. It works. (tick) I created a link this anchor on the same page: Link: #sometext Link text: sometext My requirement is same: searching to sometext will find page (the original), because link text is sometext (not becuase of anchor ID or link 'URL'). But page is missing from the result. I don't understand why. (question) I hope the situation is clear.

In addition to Will's answer, in this doc, you can find some additional information on how the indexing is working: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html

Thanks, but I've already read this page before my question. :)

Hi Péter,

Actually Confluence doesn't index anchor words, only normal words and links.

I know, the anchor ID is not indexed. (And also all other macro paramaters or macro generated outputs are not indexed.)
