 * Hi Guys,
    I am just researching Cloudsearch as an alternative for the soon the
   be defunct Google Site Search. Your plugin looks very interesting, however there
   is one thing that concerns me for the particular site I am looking at. The site
   uses the WordPress REST API to get all of its content from a ‘feeder’ site. That
   means that in the WordPress database a particular page has only the Title, Excerpt
   and a custom field that is used to retrieve the required content. This content
   comes into the page as a JSON feed and is then reformatted to display on the 
   page. I am just working through the video you did with Amazon at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ96Rrys4Ks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ96Rrys4Ks).
   At about the 15 minute mark you mention the schema. There are a couple of questions
   I have from that: –
    - Are you are only submitting the database contents to Cloudsearch. If so, can
      we create our search separately, or override that in any way so that the index
      is on the displayed page contents.
    - You mention that the data you get back is only the page ID, not the contents.
      However, I’m not sure how that is used. For example would that mean in this
      site we couldn’t show highlighted results or predictive text, or does that
      bit come from Amazon.
 * Is our case too special to really get your plugin to work effectively do you 
   think?
 * Thanks
