To enable thing indexing

The following update-indexing-configuration example enables thing indexing to support searching registry data, shadow data, and thing connectivity status using the Amazon_Things index.

aws iot update-indexing-configuration
    --thing-indexing-configuration thingIndexingMode=REGISTRY_AND_SHADOW,thingConnectivityIndexingMode=STATUS

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Managing Thing Indexing in the Amazon IoT Developers Guide.
