• Hi Guys,
    I am just researching Cloudsearch as an alternative for the soon the be defunct Google Site Search. Your plugin looks very interesting, however there is one thing that concerns me for the particular site I am looking at.
    The site uses the WordPress REST API to get all of its content from a ‘feeder’ site. That means that in the WordPress database a particular page has only the Title, Excerpt and a custom field that is used to retrieve the required content. This content comes into the page as a JSON feed and is then reformatted to display on the page.
    I am just working through the video you did with Amazon at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ96Rrys4Ks. At about the 15 minute mark you mention the schema. There are a couple of questions I have from that: –

    • Are you are only submitting the database contents to Cloudsearch. If so, can we create our search separately, or override that in any way so that the index is on the displayed page contents.
    • You mention that the data you get back is only the page ID, not the contents. However, I’m not sure how that is used. For example would that mean in this site we couldn’t show highlighted results or predictive text, or does that bit come from Amazon.

    Is our case too special to really get your plugin to work effectively do you think?

    Thanks
