To use this plugin you’ll need an Amazon Web Services account. Attention: Amazon CloudSearch is a paid service and will require a credit card.

<li>Enter Amazon access key ID, Amazon secret access key and Amazon region for your account (look for “Security Credentials” in your Amazon console to retrieve these data)</li>
<li>Enter your CloudSearch index search endpoint and the domain name (I suggest to create the CloudSearch index before you start the plugin configuration)</li>
<li>Schema settings</li>
<li>Other settings</li>
</ul>

This plugin works great and saved me a huge amount of time. The developer is also responsive and was quick to make improvements when I discovered an issue with the implementation.
