### Sarah Maddox blog

Here is an easy to follow blog:

- [Making the include macro's content appear the Confluence search results](http://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/making-the-include-macros-content-appear-the-confluence-search-results)

### Notes

- The page must be rendered at least once before the included data is added to the search index
- If the included data changes, the change will only be reflected in the index if the page is rendered after the included data has changed
- Automation using [Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP) can help keep data current
  - If you have a large number of pages using the cache macro with automation, make sure you customize the cache storage to ensure other cache macro use is not negatively impacted
