Yes, Search can read and Search into Splunk Journal files stored in any location that you can access with Cribl Search, including AWS S3.

@user Is this bucket in a SmartStore format I assume? In a Federated Dataset with an S3 Data provider to your bucket, you will see the Partitioning Scheme that allows you to select the proper formats.
