Confluence doesn’t support multi wiki… so you can’t compare at all. Actually even worse, confluence doesn’t support nested spaces, see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1095 If you’re talking about search only, then whether you’re in a single wiki or multi wiki you can have the search look everywhere. Try it on xwiki.org and you’ll see you’ll get results for sub wikis too. > So once more you just create your page hierarchy using the “+” button. > > Great.

This page was no longer referenced from the navigation. I’ve now removed it to avoid confusion.
