How to find a file path like `\companypath` while in edit mode in a browser editor like confluence












0















When editing a page in confluence CTRL-f brings you to a find-and-replace dialogue instead of the find field of your browser. When filling in a file path in the find box of this dialogue, you don't find that file path.



I assume this is because backslash is an escape character, so I tried doubling the back slashes, but that does not work. Replacing them by typical wild chard characters, like *, . or ? does not work either.



Does anyone have a sollution?

          According to doc:




          Note: Confluence doesn't support leading wildcards. This means searching for *heese will not return cheese.




          So, if you search for \companypath, *company?path will not return anything.



          I'd use: company?path, without the leading wildcard.

          • As I wrote, the ? wild card does not work. Should I flag somewhere I want to use wildcards first?

          You can open the find facility without pressing ctrl-f:




          • In Google, in the right upper corner, under the windows close-cross, you find 3 dots that open a menu. This menu includes the find facility of google.

          • In Internet Explorer, at the same place, you can open the settings menu. The submenu File contains a find on this page option;
