How do you search by labels specifically?

[D Pozega]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Confluence Search Syntax

I have started labelling my docs...but I can't find a way to search the labels specifically.  I don't understand the explanation on this page.

The only thing that works (in JIRA, not sure about Confluence) is:

In my example I have label fields which are named: ”VERSION CODES 1","VERSION CODES 2","VERSION CODES 3"

like this:Screen Shot 2016-03-07 at 6.53.26 PM.pngor this:  Screen Shot 2016-03-07 at 6.59.18 PM.png

To find the label "TBD" in these fields this query works:

"VERSION CODES 1" = TBD OR "VERSION CODES 2" = TBD OR "VERSION CODES 3" = TBD

I am trying to do a similar thing in JIRA because, like yours, my searches do not look in labels only in text fields.

My own Atlasssian question is here: How to search for labels in any custom field 

I think the CQL and JQL are similar.

Hope this helps.

You can use labelText:

labelText:search_string*

NOTE: the asterisk at the end sometimes improves results.
