AWS Bedrock adds domain filters and location hints to Web Search
Developers can narrow search sources and add geographic context; this is not a local HK, Macau or Taiwan launch.
AWS announced domain filters and optional location hints for Bedrock Web Search on October 23, saying they are available now; no separate phased rollout dates were given. Allow or block lists support up to 100 domains, while location hints improve geographic relevance.
This developer feature uses the Responses API on bedrock-mantle, not bedrock-runtime. Appropriate IAM permissions and supported models are required; it is not available for every Bedrock model.
Deployment is listed in Northern Virginia, Ohio, Oregon and GovCloud US-West. No HK, Macau or Taiwan endpoint is listed; this does not establish whether residents are eligible. Local account eligibility, Traditional Chinese support and client-interface availability remain unconfirmed. The pricing page specifies per-query billing; numeric rates and total costs were not verified. Not independently tested.
