Map-level Search and Replace is returning 0 results all the time

Hi @beaula123 ,

Root Cause (Most Common):

AEM Guides Search and Replace depends heavily on DITA Map parsing and indexing. If:

  - The map is not associated with a DITA-OT map type, or

  - References within the map are broken or incomplete, or

  - The search engine configuration isn't detecting UUID-based maps,

then the tool will fail silently and show “0 files found”.

Steps to Fix:

1. Confirm DITA Map Association

Ensure the selected map is correctly typed as a DITA Map.

Go to CRXDE: /content/dam/broadcom/techdocs/ctp-test/Beaula/choice-table-test.ditamap

Confirm that it has this property:

If not, right-click in CRXDE and update the dc:format manually to:

2. Ensure Map Contains Valid References

  - Open the map in Web Editor and confirm it successfully references topics.

  - Broken references (red exclamation) will prevent indexing.

3. Reindex Map Content from AEM Guides UI

  - Go to Tools → AEM Guides → Content Indexing

  - Select the DITA map in question and click “Reindex Map”

4. Check and Restart the Async Indexing Job

Sometimes background jobs get stuck. Do the following:

  - Go to: http://<host>:<port>/system/console/status-slingjobs

  - Look for any stuck/failed jobs related to DITA or indexing.

  - Clear and restart them if needed.

5. Check Lucene Query Limits

Sometimes Lucene result limits can truncate queries:

  - Go to /system/console/configMgr

  - Look for "Apache Jackrabbit Oak QueryEngineSettingsService"

  - Increase the limit:

  - Query Limit: 500000

    - Read Limit: 500000

    - Save and test again.

6. Enable Debug Logs Temporarily

If still stuck, enable logs for detailed output:

  - Log level: DEBUG

  - Class: com.adobe.fmdita.search

Use /system/console/slinglog to do this.

@beaula123 : can you check on any/some of the topics of the map (in jcr:content) if following properties are getting added after post processing:

 - guidesParentMaps

 - guidesDirectParentMaps

If not follow the steps given in upgrade instructions see section "Steps to reindex existing content" 

And also check if the configuration "Disable guidesParentMaps Processing" is set - if yes then you need to uncheck this config under com.adobe.fmdita.config.ConfigManager
