Critical information can be scattered across multiple data sources in an enterprise, including internal and external websites. Amazon Kendra customers can now use the Kendra web crawler to index documents made available on websites (HTML, PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and Plain Text) and search for information across this content using Kendra Intelligent Search. Organizations can provide relevant search results to users seeking answers to their questions, for example, product specification detail that resides on a support website or company travel policy information that’s listed on an intranet webpage.
The Amazon Kendra web crawler is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Kendra is available. To learn more about the feature, visit the documentation page. To explore Amazon Kendra, visit the Amazon Kendra website.
Note: The Kendra web crawler honors access rules in robots.txt, and customers using the Kendra web crawler will need to ensure they are authorized to index those webpages in order to return search results for end users.
