Connect Amazon S3 to ZenSearch

Index any file type from your S3 buckets. PDFs, documents, images, and data files become searchable through AI-powered semantic search.

What ZenSearch indexes from Amazon S3

PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, plain text, HTML, Markdown, images, and more. ZenSearch parses 50+ file formats stored in your S3 buckets.

Authenticate with IAM roles, access keys, or instance profiles. No need to share long-lived credentials — use your existing AWS IAM policies.

Works with any S3-compatible storage including RustFS, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, and Wasabi. Same connector, any S3-compatible endpoint.

Index specific prefixes (folders) within a bucket. Exclude directories containing logs, backups, or raw data that should not be searchable.

Designed to handle buckets with millions of objects. Pagination, parallel processing, and incremental sync keep indexing efficient at any scale.

S3 object metadata, tags, and content types are captured and used to enrich search results with additional context about each file.
