Why This Matters
“Do we still say that anywhere?” is one of the hardest questions to answer about a large site, and one of the most consequential. A retired product name, a claim legal no longer approves, an old brand treatment, a regulated phrase that changed — each one is somewhere in the estate, and CMS search generally can’t tell you where. So teams guess. They check the pages they remember, fix those, and hope. Months later the phrase surfaces on a page nobody had opened since 2023. Site Search indexes your sites so Gradial can answer “what’s in it?” exhaustively — and turn that answer into bulk action.Site Search indexes your connected sites so Gradial can answer “what’s in it?” exhaustively — and turn that answer into bulk action. Once indexed, you can run find-and-replace operations across every locale, every section, and every depth of your sites.
Site Search needs your sites indexed before the steps on this page will return results. Your Gradial team configures and runs the initial index.
What You Can Do
Site-Wide Find & Replace
Ask Grady to swap a brand name, product name, legal phrase, or regulated wording across your entire site in plain English:“Replace every mention of [old brand name] with [new brand name] across all pages.”
“Update the legal disclaimer on every page that references [product line].”Gradial searches indexed page snapshots, fans out one task per matched page, edits each on a safe staged copy, and reports results independently — so no single page blocks the others.
Visual Workflow Mapping
A live graph shows every fan-out task in flight, every page completed, and anything stuck upstream. You can track progress across the full site-wide operation as it runs.Human-in-the-Loop Approvals
Workflows pause at QA checkpoints. Nothing ships until brand and compliance sign off. Each page’s staged copy is available for review before promotion to live.How It Works
1
Index your sites
Your Gradial team sets up and runs indexing jobs over your connected sites. Site Search results are only available after indexing is complete.
2
Describe your change
In Gradial Chat, describe what you want replaced — the term, phrase, or content type, and any scope constraints such as specific sections, locales, or page types.
3
Review the matches
Gradial surfaces matched pages with paths and titles before taking any action. Confirm the scope looks right before proceeding.
4
Approve and ship
Gradial fans out one task per matched page, edits each on a safe staged copy, and surfaces results for review. Promote to live when you’re ready.
