Azure.Search.Documents (.NET)

Build search applications with full-text, vector, semantic, and hybrid search capabilities.

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.Search.Documents
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

These fragments require a compatible pinned SDK version; check its API reference before use. They are not a complete compiled application.

Environment Variables

SEARCH_ENDPOINT=https://<search-service>.search.windows.net
SEARCH_INDEX_NAME=<index-name>
# For API key auth (not recommended for production)
SEARCH_API_KEY=<api-key>

Authentication

DefaultAzureCredential (preferred):

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.Search.Documents;

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var client = new SearchClient(
    new Uri(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SEARCH_ENDPOINT")),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SEARCH_INDEX_NAME"),
    credential);

API Key:

using Azure;
using Azure.Search.Documents;

var credential = new AzureKeyCredential(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SEARCH_API_KEY"));
var client = new SearchClient(
    new Uri(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SEARCH_ENDPOINT")),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SEARCH_INDEX_NAME"),
    credential);

Client Selection

| Client | Purpose |

|--------|---------|

| SearchClient | Query indexes, upload/update/delete documents |

| SearchIndexClient | Create/manage indexes, synonym maps |

| SearchIndexerClient | Manage indexers, skillsets, data sources |

Index Creation

Using FieldBuilder (Recommended)

using Azure.Search.Documents.Indexes;
using Azure.Search.Documents.Indexes.Models;

// Define model with attributes
public class Hotel
{
    [SimpleField(IsKey = true, IsFilterable = true)]
    public string HotelId { get; set; }

    [SearchableField(IsSortable = true)]
    public string HotelName { get; set; }

    [SearchableField(AnalyzerName = LexicalAnalyzerName.EnLucene)]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [SimpleField(IsFilterable = true, IsSortable = true, IsFacetable = true)]
    public double? Rating { get; set; }

    [VectorSearchField(VectorSearchDimensions = 1536, VectorSearchProfileName = "vector-profile")]
    public ReadOnlyMemory<float>? DescriptionVector { get; set; }
}

// Create index
var indexClient = new SearchIndexClient(endpoint, credential);
var fieldBuilder = new FieldBuilder();
var fields = fieldBuilder.Build(typeof(Hotel));

var index = new SearchIndex("hotels")
{
    Fields = fields,
    VectorSearch = new VectorSearch
    {
        Profiles = { new VectorSearchProfile("vector-profile", "hnsw-algo") },
        Algorithms = { new HnswAlgorithmConfiguration("hnsw-algo") }
    }
};

await indexClient.CreateOrUpdateIndexAsync(index);

Manual Field Definition

var index = new SearchIndex("hotels")
{
    Fields =
    {
        new SimpleField("hotelId", SearchFieldDataType.String) { IsKey = true, IsFilterable = true },
        new SearchableField("hotelName") { IsSortable = true },
        new SearchableField("description") { AnalyzerName = LexicalAnalyzerName.EnLucene },
        new SimpleField("rating", SearchFieldDataType.Double) { IsFilterable = true, IsSortable = true },
        new SearchField("descriptionVector", SearchFieldDataType.Collection(SearchFieldDataType.Single))
        {
            VectorSearchDimensions = 1536,
            VectorSearchProfileName = "vector-profile"
        }
    }
};

Document Operations

var searchClient = new SearchClient(endpoint, indexName, credential);

// Upload inserts or replaces the entire existing document with the same key.
var hotels = new[] { new Hotel { HotelId = "1", HotelName = "Hotel A" } };
await searchClient.UploadDocumentsAsync(hotels);

// Merge (update existing)
await searchClient.MergeDocumentsAsync(hotels);

// Merge or Upload (upsert)
await searchClient.MergeOrUploadDocumentsAsync(hotels);

// Delete
await searchClient.DeleteDocumentsAsync("HotelId", new[] { "1", "2" });

// Batch operations
var batch = IndexDocumentsBatch.Create(
    IndexDocumentsAction.Upload(hotel1),
    IndexDocumentsAction.Merge(hotel2),
    IndexDocumentsAction.Delete(hotel3));
await searchClient.IndexDocumentsAsync(batch);

Search Patterns

Basic Search

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    Filter = "Rating ge 4",
    OrderBy = { "Rating desc" },
    Select = { "HotelId", "HotelName", "Rating" },
    Size = 10,
    Skip = 0,
    IncludeTotalCount = true
};

SearchResults<Hotel> results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>("luxury", options);

Console.WriteLine($"Total: {results.TotalCount}");
await foreach (SearchResult<Hotel> result in results.GetResultsAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{result.Document.HotelName} (Score: {result.Score})");
}

Faceted Search

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    Facets = { "Rating,count:5" }
};

var results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>("*", options);

foreach (var facet in results.Value.Facets["Rating"])
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Rating {facet.Value}: {facet.Count}");
}

Autocomplete and Suggestions

// Autocomplete
var autocompleteOptions = new AutocompleteOptions { Mode = AutocompleteMode.OneTermWithContext };
var autocomplete = await searchClient.AutocompleteAsync("lux", "suggester-name", autocompleteOptions);

// Suggestions
var suggestOptions = new SuggestOptions { UseFuzzyMatching = true };
var suggestions = await searchClient.SuggestAsync<Hotel>("lux", "suggester-name", suggestOptions);

Vector Search

See references/vector-search.md for detailed patterns.

using Azure.Search.Documents.Models;

// Pure vector search
var vectorQuery = new VectorizedQuery(embedding)
{
    KNearestNeighborsCount = 5,
    Fields = { "DescriptionVector" }
};

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    VectorSearch = new VectorSearchOptions
    {
        Queries = { vectorQuery }
    }
};

var results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>(null, options);

Semantic Search

See references/semantic-search.md for detailed patterns.

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    QueryType = SearchQueryType.Semantic,
    SemanticSearch = new SemanticSearchOptions
    {
        SemanticConfigurationName = "my-semantic-config",
        QueryCaption = new QueryCaption(QueryCaptionType.Extractive),
        QueryAnswer = new QueryAnswer(QueryAnswerType.Extractive)
    }
};

var results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>("best hotel for families", options);

// Access semantic answers
foreach (var answer in results.Value.SemanticSearch?.Answers ?? [])
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Answer: {answer.Text} (Score: {answer.Score})");
}

// Access captions
await foreach (var result in results.Value.GetResultsAsync())
{
    var caption = result.SemanticSearch?.Captions?.FirstOrDefault();
    Console.WriteLine($"Caption: {caption?.Text}");
}

Hybrid Search (Vector + Keyword + Semantic)

var vectorQuery = new VectorizedQuery(embedding)
{
    KNearestNeighborsCount = 50,
    Fields = { "DescriptionVector" }
};

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    QueryType = SearchQueryType.Semantic,
    SemanticSearch = new SemanticSearchOptions
    {
        SemanticConfigurationName = "my-semantic-config"
    },
    VectorSearch = new VectorSearchOptions
    {
        Queries = { vectorQuery }
    }
};

// Combines keyword search, vector search, and semantic ranking
var results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>("luxury beachfront", options);

Field Attributes Reference

| Attribute | Purpose |

|-----------|---------|

| SimpleField | Non-searchable field (filters, sorting, facets) |

| SearchableField | Full-text searchable field |

| VectorSearchField | Vector embedding field |

| IsKey = true | Document key (required, one per index) |

| IsFilterable = true | Enable $filter expressions |

| IsSortable = true | Enable $orderby |

| IsFacetable = true | Enable faceted navigation |

| IsHidden = true | Exclude from results |

| AnalyzerName | Specify text analyzer |

Error Handling

using Azure;

try
{
    var results = await searchClient.SearchAsync<Hotel>("query");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 404)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Index not found");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Search error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}

Best Practices

1. Use DefaultAzureCredential over API keys for production

2. Use FieldBuilder with model attributes for type-safe index definitions

3. Use CreateOrUpdateIndexAsync for idempotent index creation

4. Batch document operations for better throughput

5. Use Select to return only needed fiel
