General

Is incremental indexing supported by the connector?

Yes. After running the first "Full" crawl, the next "Update" crawl will calculate a modification signature for each object and based on that, decide if the object needs to be reindexed or not.

Why is does an incremental crawl last as long as a full crawl?

The Confluence Connector performs incremental crawls based on snapshot files, which are meant to match the exact documents that have been indexed by the connector to the search engine. On an incremental crawl the connector fully crawls the confluence repository the same way as a full crawl, but it only indexes the modified, new or deleted documents during that crawl.

Can the Group Expansion component work for more than one content source?

There is a 1:1 relationship between the URL used to configure the group expansion component and the URL used to crawl Confluence; in other words, the Group Expansion component will work if and only if the URL used to crawl is equal to the URL used by the Group Expansion component.

Which Confluence versions does the connector support?

The connector supports version 3.5, 4.X and 5.X of Confluence.

Save your content source before creating or editing another one

Failing to save a content source before creating or editing another content source can result in an error.

Save the initial content source before creating or working on another.

Make sure the Confluence repository version matches Confluence Version property

If you are getting unpredictable results check to make sure the version set in the Content Source Configuration page matches the version of Confluence repository you are crawling.
