Searches an active index. Use this API to search your documents using query. The Query
operation enables to do faceted search and to filter results based on document attributes.
It also enables you to provide user context that Amazon Kendra uses to enforce document access control in the search results.
Amazon Kendra searches your index for text content and question and answer (FAQ) content. By default the response contains three types of results.

Relevant documents
You can specify that the query return only one type of result using the QueryResultTypeConfig
parameter.
Each query returns the 100 most relevant results.

--query-text
(string)
The text to search for.
--attribute-filter
(structure)
Enables filtered searches based on document attributes. You can only provide one attribute filter; however, the
AndAllFilters
,NotFilter
, andOrAllFilters
parameters contain a list of other filters.The
AttributeFilter
parameter enables you to create a set of filtering rules that a document must satisfy to be included in the query results.AndAllFilters -> (list)

--facets
(list)
An array of documents attributes. Amazon Kendra returns a count for each attribute key specified. You can use this information to help narrow the search for your user.
(structure)
Information about a document attribute
DocumentAttributeKey -> (string)
The unique key for the document attribute.
Shorthand Syntax:
DocumentAttributeKey=string ...
JSON Syntax:
[
{
"DocumentAttributeKey": "string"
}
...
]
--requested-document-attributes
(list)
An array of document attributes to include in the response. No other document attributes are included in the response. By default all document attributes are included in the response.
(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--query-result-type-filter
(string)
Sets the type of query. Only results for the specified query type are returned.
Possible values:
DOCUMENT
QUESTION_ANSWER
ANSWER
--page-number
(integer)
Query results are returned in pages the size of the
PageSize
parameter. By default, Amazon Kendra returns the first page of results. Use this parameter to get result pages after the first one.
--page-size
(integer)
Sets the number of results that are returned in each page of results. The default page size is 10. The maximum number of results returned is 100. If you ask for more than 100 results, only 100 are returned.
--sorting-configuration
(structure)
Provides information that determines how the results of the query are sorted. You can set the field that Amazon Kendra should sort the results on, and specify whether the results should be sorted in ascending or descending order. In the case of ties in sorting the results, the results are sorted by relevance.
If you don’t provide sorting configuration, the results are sorted by the relevance that Amazon Kendra determines for the result.
DocumentAttributeKey -> (string)
The name of the document attribute used to sort the response. You can use any field that has the
Sortable
flag set to true.You can also sort by any of the following built-in attributes:
_category
_created_at
_last_updated_at
_version
_view_count
SortOrder -> (string)
The order that the results should be returned in. In case of ties, the relevance assigned to the result by Amazon Kendra is used as the tie-breaker.
Shorthand Syntax:
DocumentAttributeKey=string,SortOrder=string
JSON Syntax:
{
"DocumentAttributeKey": "string",
"SortOrder": "DESC"|"ASC"
}
--user-context
(structure)
The user context token.
Token -> (string)
The user context token. It must be a JWT or a JSON token.
Shorthand Syntax:
Token=string
JSON Syntax:
{
"Token": "string"
}
--visitor-id
(string)
Provides an identifier for a specific user. The
VisitorId
should be a unique identifier, such as a GUID. Don’t use personally identifiable information, such as the user’s email address, as theVisitorId
.
--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
