Atlassian general Search can be flaky at times when you are looking for Macros. You can use the API search as it is better accuracy however it has a limit of 250 results and the results are not as easily read
To use the API search function you will need to add the below search after your instance URL.
Below is two sets of code the first set searches for the MultiExcerpt and the second the MultiExcerpt Include.
The first line of each set will give you all pages that have the macro on it up to the 1st 25 uses. The second line will raise the limit to 250.
The limit is Atlassians and you can type a larger number in the line however you will still not get
/wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=macro=%27multiexcerpt-macro%27 /wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=macro=%27multiexcerpt-macro%27&limit=250 /wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=macro=%27multiexcerpt-include-macro%27 /wiki/rest/api/content/search?cql=macro=%27multiexcerpt-include-macro%27&limit=250
In Atlassian's Documentation on using the API search, it indicates that if you have beyond 250 you can add some more language to start over after the 1st 250 results but in practice, we have not found that to work very well. If you have more than 250 results we recommend you review the documents and open a ticket with Atlassian for further assistance.
Below is some documentation on the process by Atlassian.
To make this process easier we have a few new features that we'd love to have your vote or feedback on as we gather interest for their implementation.
