Note

Feature support varies by index type and search API being used. To see if this feature is supported for the index type and search API you’re using, see Index types.

To search an Amazon Kendra index, you use the Query API. The Query API returns information about the indexed documents that you use in your application. This section shows you how to make a query, perform filters, and interpret the response that you get from the Query API.

To search documents that you have indexed with Amazon Kendra for Amazon Lex, use AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent. For an example of configuring Amazon Kendra with Amazon Lex, see Creating a FAQ Bot for an Amazon Kendra Index.
