# Site Search & Find-and-Replace

> Index your AEM sites and run site-wide content operations — swap brand names, legal phrases, or regulated wording across every page without manual editing.

Site Search indexes your connected AEM 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.

<Warning>
  Site Search requires indexing to be configured and run by your Gradial team before you can use it. Contact your Gradial representative to get started.
</Warning>

## 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 AEM launch 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 launch copy is available for review before promotion to live.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Index your sites">
    Your Gradial team sets up and runs indexing jobs over your connected AEM sites. Site Search results are only available after indexing is complete.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the matches">
    Gradial surfaces matched pages with paths and titles before taking any action. Confirm the scope looks right before proceeding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve and ship">
    Gradial fans out one task per matched page, edits each on a safe AEM launch copy, and surfaces results for review. Promote to live when you're ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Getting Started

1. **Connect your AEM sites.** Add your AEM environment from the integrations page if you haven't already — see [AEM setup](/docs/integrations-administration-and-setup/integrations/aem/aem-overview).
2. **Contact your Gradial team** to schedule indexing for your connected sites.
3. **Run your first operation.** Once indexing is complete, describe the change you want in Gradial Chat.
