it was only searching page items and then not listing spot colors that were used in the placed eps files.
There’s no way to check an EPS’s spot colors from within InDesign, so if you want to include spot colors that are brought in via a placed asset, there’s no point in looping thru the page items and text.

But as I mentioned in the other post just because a swatch is used doesn’t mean it will print. Here PANTONE Stron Red C is in a placed EPS, but G, Gray20, Gray60 are listed but they will not print:
