Any plans to produce a Lightspeed search provider for the new Amazon CloudSearch? It would be truly awesome. |

Insanely fast feature request! We'll investigate if we can plug it into our existing Search Engine infrastructure. Cheers! John-Daniel |

Hi, Sorry for the lag on responding about this. From looking into the API, this should be possible however it would be a bit more work than our current Lucene based approach. Given the web service call for indexing you'd likely need to come up with a slightly more convoluted approach when updating the search index was done as an offline process. By default the LightSpeed search index expects a low latency data store for the search index as it updates the index on saves. So, yes, possible, but you'd want to bring the indexing of new data and changed data into an external process to prevent slowing your application too much. John-Daniel |

Good point. I'd probably need to run this through some kind of message queue to make the indexing call asynchronous. Could be a bit of a lengthy process migrating an existing index! |
