Trigger
New Outlook Message

Action
Search Content
Searches for content by filtering pages from the confluence v2 api with intelligent ranking. since the native search endpoint is deprecated, this action: 1. fetches pages from the v2 pages endpoint with pagination (up to 300 pages) 2. applies intelligent client-side filtering with relevance scoring 3. returns results ranked by match quality (exact phrase > all words > partial matches) the search algorithm prioritizes exact phrase matches, then checks for all query words present in the title, and finally considers partial word matches. results are automatically sorted by relevance score for optimal user experience.
