Overview

In this workshop we will be using Amazon Kendra to setup our own Enterprise Search instance, index HTML/PDF content in Amazon S3, and use a variety of query types to return accurate search results for end users.

Note: Amazon Kendra pricing and free tier information is available at https://aws.amazon.com/kendra/pricing/. You should delete your index after you are done with this workshop to avoid Kendra related charges.

This workshop is split into 3 parts:

Part 1 - Creating a Kendra Index

In Part 1, we will create the Kendra index. Here we will also be populating our search repository with some sample data from the Amazon Sagemaker documentation and some Machine Learning whitepapers. At the end of this section we will be able to search over our repository and return results to users.

Part 2 - Adding Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In Part 2, we will enhance our existing index with Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). This will allow users to quickly get directly to answers for common questions. Our dataset in this case is the Amazon Sagemaker FAQs.

Part 3 - Adding Metadata

In the final section of this workshop, we will go even further in enriching the search experience for end users by building metadata objects to go with the document repository. This metadata will allow us to override certain elements such as the title of a document, or add other metadata that we can use for faceted search.

Part 4 - Clean Up

Lastly we will clean up the resources we created.
