Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

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

0:

4 version mandatory (for WP_Term support)

* Changed APIs output from an array of IDs to an array of object composed by the entity ID and the entity type

Minimum requirements:

  • WordPress Version 4.4
  • PHP Version 5.3
  • Amazon Web Services account with CloudSearch enabled

Usage

  • Go to CloudSearch -> Settings
  • Enter your Amazon access key ID, Secret access key and the Amazon region where you have created the CloudSearch index
  • Enter a Search endpoint and the Domain name. Get these info in your CloudSearch dashboard in AWS Console
  • Choose post types, custom fields and custom taxonomies that you want to export to the CloudSearch index
  • Set up other settings or leave defaults
  • Save settings.
  • Go to CloudSearch -> Manage
  • Click the action Create index, Run indexing and Sync all documents. Between every action wait until the Status field is Active, then go on with the next task
  • After these operation your index is ready, now you can search documents in your CloudSearch index
