CloudSearch is a flexible plugin that allows you to leverage the search index power of Amazon CloudSearch in your WordPress site.
To use this plugin you』ll need an Amazon Web Services account. Attention: Amazon CloudSearch is a paid service and will require a credit card.
Before you can start using CloudSearch, the plugin needs to be activated and configured. Activate the plugin, then go to the menu 「CloudSearch -> Settings」 (you can find this menu in the sidebar of your WordPress admin panel).
Fill the form data:
- Enter Amazon access key ID, Amazon secret access key and Amazon region for your account (look for 「Security Credentials」 in your Amazon console to retrieve these data)
- Enter your CloudSearch index search endpoint and the domain name (I suggest to create the CloudSearch index before you start the plugin configuration)
- Schema settings
- Other settings
