Changes Amazon Kendra now suggests popular queries in order to help guide query typing and help overall accuracy.
Updates the settings of query suggestions for an index.
Amazon Kendra supports partial updates, so you only need to provide the fields you want to update.
If an update is currently processing (i.e. 'happening'), you need to wait for the update to finish before making another update.
Updates to query suggestions settings might not take effect right away. The time for your updated settings to take effect depends on the updates made and the number of search queries in your index.
You can still enable/disable query suggestions at any time.

Request Syntax
client.update_query_suggestions_config( IndexId='string', Mode='ENABLED'|'LEARN_ONLY', QueryLogLookBackWindowInDays=123, IncludeQueriesWithoutUserInformation=True|False, MinimumNumberOfQueryingUsers=123, MinimumQueryCount=123 )
string
[REQUIRED]
The identifier of the index you want to update query suggestions settings for.
string
Set the mode to ENABLED or LEARN_ONLY.
By default, Amazon Kendra enables query suggestions. LEARN_ONLY mode allows you to turn off query suggestions. You can to update this at any time.
In LEARN_ONLY mode, Amazon Kendra continues to learn from new queries to keep suggestions up to date for when you are ready to switch to ENABLED mode again.
integer
How recent your queries are in your query log time window.
The time window is the number of days from current day to past days.
By default, Amazon Kendra sets this to 180.
boolean
TRUE to include queries without user information (i.e. all queries, irrespective of the user), otherwise FALSE to only include queries with user information.
If you pass user information to Amazon Kendra along with the queries, you can set this flag to FALSE and instruct Amazon Kendra to only consider queries with user information.
If you set to FALSE, Amazon Kendra only considers queries searched at least MinimumQueryCount times across MinimumNumberOfQueryingUsers unique users for suggestions.
If you set to TRUE, Amazon Kendra ignores all user information and learns from all queries.
integer
The minimum number of unique users who must search a query in order for the query to be eligible to suggest to your users.
Increasing this number might decrease the number of suggestions. However, this ensures a query is searched by many users and is truly popular to suggest to users.
How you tune this setting depends on your specific needs.
integer
The the minimum number of times a query must be searched in order to be eligible to suggest to your users.
Decreasing this number increases the number of suggestions. However, this affects the quality of suggestions as it sets a low bar for a query to be considered popular to suggest to users.
How you tune this setting depends on your specific needs.
None
Deletes a block list used for query suggestions for an index.
A deleted block list might not take effect right away. Amazon Kendra needs to refresh the entire suggestions list to add back the queries that were previously blocked.

{ 'Mode': 'ENABLED'|'LEARN_ONLY', 'Status': 'ACTIVE'|'UPDATING', 'QueryLogLookBackWindowInDays': 123, 'IncludeQueriesWithoutUserInformation': True|False, 'MinimumNumberOfQueryingUsers': 123, 'MinimumQueryCount': 123, 'LastSuggestionsBuildTime': datetime(2015, 1, 1), 'LastClearTime': datetime(2015, 1, 1), 'TotalSuggestionsCount': 123 }
Response Structure
(dict) --
Mode (string) --
Shows whether query suggestions are currently in ENABLED mode or LEARN_ONLY mode.
By default, Amazon Kendra enables query suggestions. LEARN_ONLY turns off query suggestions for your users. You can change the mode using the UpdateQuerySuggestionsConfig operation.
Status (string) --
Shows whether the status of query suggestions settings is currently Active or Updating.
Active means the current settings apply and Updating means your changed settings are in the process of applying.
QueryLogLookBackWindowInDays (integer) --
Shows how recent your queries are in your query log time window (in days).
IncludeQueriesWithoutUserInformation (boolean) --
Shows whether Amazon Kendra uses all queries or only uses queries that include user information to generate query suggestions.
MinimumNumberOfQueryingUsers (integer) --
Shows the minimum number of unique users who must search a query in order for the query to be eligible to suggest to your users.
MinimumQueryCount (integer) --
Shows the minimum number of times a query must be searched in order for the query to be eligible to suggest to your users.
LastSuggestionsBuildTime (datetime) --
Shows the date-time query suggestions for an index was last updated.
LastClearTime (datetime) --
Shows the date-time query suggestions for an index was last cleared.
After you clear suggestions, Amazon Kendra learns new suggestions based on new queries added to the query log from the time you cleared suggestions. Amazon Kendra only considers re-occurences of a query from the time you cleared suggestions.
TotalSuggestionsCount (integer) --
Shows the current total count of query suggestions for an index.
This count can change when you update your query suggestions settings, if you filter out certain queries from suggestions using a block list, and as the query log accumulates more queries for Amazon Kendra to learn from.
Clears existing query suggestions from an index.
This deletes existing suggestions only, not the queries in the query log. After you clear suggestions, Amazon Kendra learns new suggestions based on new queries added to the query log from the time you cleared suggestions. If you do not see any new suggestions, then please allow Amazon Kendra to collect enough queries to learn new suggestions.

Request Syntax
client.clear_query_suggestions( IndexId='string' )
string
[REQUIRED]
The identifier of the index you want to clear query suggestions from.
None
Updates a block list used for query suggestions for an index.
Updates to a block list might not take effect right away. Amazon Kendra needs to refresh the entire suggestions list to apply any updates to the block list. Other changes not related to the block list apply immediately.
If a block list is updating, then you need to wait for the first update to finish before submitting another update.
Amazon Kendra supports partial updates, so you only need to provide the fields you want to update.
