It is impossible to find anything in Confluence. The search is useless. Anything that's not in my list of recently worked-on/viewed is basically gone forever.

Frankly, that's no better or worst than any other wiki I've used. It's certainly not something I blame Confluence for particularly.

I can search for strings that exactly exist in pages and it still doesn't find them, it has no way I can find to limit searches to pages I've modified, and its search result ordering is awful, partial search results crowd out full matches. I'm sure there's worse search features, but this is supposed to be decent, well-supported software. It's not some crap noname wiki, supported by one guy parttime.

Mumbles noises about a continuous-scraping system (which possibly runs overnight) and chucks everything into a 3rd-party search solution
(If there isn't that much content, now would definitely be the time to do this, so you entrench the capability and get everyone to depend on it to the extent that it must be fixed once it can't keep up. :P)
It's fine. Certainly no worse than any other wiki that just accretes content.
(Then again, we're not doing anything overly sophisticated with it, or relying on any of its features for critical workflows.)
