Asset Share search not returning asset after moving/renaming tag

[laniweisbart]

We are using Asset Share and we have a number of Assets that were tagged with a particular tag.  We had a requirement to rename the tag.  We chose to update the name by "moving" the tag - though we placed it under the same path that is was previously.  By using "move", we are able to update both the name and the title of the tag.  However after moving/renaming the tag this way, we are no longer getting results when we search by the new tag name.  And we still get results when we search using the old (removed) tag name.

Can anyone help me to understand whats going on here?

Please refer to the following Adobe documentation:

• Moving and Merging Tags
• Tag Search and Tag Listing

Your old tag is still present in CRX with the cq:movedTo property pointing to the new tag value. The index is also present at:

/oak:index/cqTagLucene/indexRules/cq:Tag/properties/cqMovedTo

However, this index only tracks cq:movedTo and not cq:backlinks.

Unless your pages containing the old tag reference are modified (e.g., by updating tags), AEM will not automatically replace the old reference with the new one.

To ensure a complete update, it is best to write a Groovy script that updates all old tag references in your pages/assets to the new tag manually.
