Starting from Talk version 2.1.0, you can search talks by text and commenters. To search by text, use the talk keyword:

 

 

talk:"do that ASAP"

 

To search by commenter, use the talkUser keyword and a commenter's user name or full name:

 

talkUser:"User Name"

 

 

Starting from Talk version 2.2.3, date range search is also available. To search for talks updated within a certain date range, use the talkUpdated keyword. The date stamps are in numeric 'yyyymmdd' format:

 

talkUpdated:[20141201 TO 20150201]

 

Besides, with the help of Searching for macros of Confluence Search Syntax, you can search Confluence pages for anywhere Talk macro is used. To do that, use the query:

 

macroName:talk

 

Use the standard Confluence Search field on the top bar to enter your query.
