What It Reads
What ZenSearch indexes from Amazon S3.
Any File Type
PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, plain text, HTML, Markdown, images, and more. ZenSearch parses 50+ file formats stored in your S3 buckets.
IAM Role Authentication
Authenticate with IAM roles, access keys, or instance profiles. No need to share long-lived credentials — use your existing AWS IAM policies.
S3-Compatible Storage
Works with any S3-compatible storage including RustFS, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, and Wasabi. Same connector, any S3-compatible endpoint.
Prefix Filtering
Index specific prefixes (folders) within a bucket. Exclude directories containing logs, backups, or raw data that should not be searchable.
Large-Scale Indexing
Designed to handle buckets with millions of objects. Pagination, parallel processing, and incremental sync keep indexing efficient at any scale.
Metadata Preservation
S3 object metadata, tags, and content types are captured and used to enrich search results with additional context about each file.
Setup
Up and running in three steps.
01
Connect
Authenticate your account and select the resources to index. ZenSearch handles OAuth, API keys, and enterprise SSO.
02
Index
ZenSearch parses, chunks, and vectorizes your content. Incremental sync keeps everything up to date automatically.
03
Delegate
Your coworker searches, answers, and acts across this source — with permission-aware results and governed actions.
In Practice
Questions your team can finally ask.
Once Amazon S3 is connected, your team asks in natural language and gets cited answers — and governed action — instantly.
"Find the data processing agreement template we use for EU clients"
Searches across legal document prefixes in your S3 bucket and finds the DPA template, even if the filename is an opaque ID.
"What does the latest audit report say about our access controls?"
Locates the audit report PDF in your compliance bucket, parses its content, and extracts the access control findings section.
"Where is the training dataset documentation for the recommendation model?"
Finds README and documentation files in your ML artifacts bucket and returns the dataset description, schema, and versioning information.
