Submitting Search Requests in Amazon CloudSearch like this "http://search-movies-rr2f34ofg56xneuemujamut52i.us-east-1.cloudsearch. amazonaws.com/2011-02-01/search?bq=company_name:'Greenline'&return-fields=all_us_sic_codes,company_name,contact_first_name,total_employees" i got above example result in json format.

i want to make use of "[id] => ras_csv_693" in example,so by using this "id", searched again like this "2011-02-01/search?q=id:ras_csv_693" but i didnt get any result.. please help me to get result...

Answer 1

Although you asked how to do this in version 2011-02-01, the syntax is sufficiently different in version 2013-01-01, that it's worth showing.

To search for a document by its ID in version 2013-01-01 of the CloudSearch API you use a structured query with _id:'THE_ID' as the query. For your example you would request:

.../2013-01-01/search?q.parser=structured&q=_id:'ras_csv_693'

Answer 2

You can search by the document ID using: ?bq=docid:'ras_csv_693'

Example:

http://search-movies-rr2f34ofg56xneuemujamut52i.us-east-1.cloudsearch.amazonaws.com/2011-02-01/search?bq=docid:'ras_csv_693'&return-fields=all_us_sic_codes,company_name,contact_first_name,total_employees

Note that the URL must be encoded to work, here I'm not encoding just make it easy to understand.
