Azure Search Is Down In North Central US
Hello Everyone,
I can't access my existing search service via the API or portal.azure.com. Also, I've tried creating two new search services in the North Central datacenter, but both failed. The following is what I see in portal.azure.com. Anyone know what's up?
Hi Collin,
Would you be able to e-mail me your service name? My address is bruce DOT johnston AT microsoft.
Thanks,
-Bruce

The storage service in North Central US seems to be down for me.
"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" is the error I am getting for all my storage actions - I can see from My Visual Studio Application Insights. Happened suddenly for no particular reason.

The service dashboard for Azure shows no outage. I am in North Central US region.Hi,
>>The same storage connection works fine from storage explorer
In azure storage explorer we need to fill account name and account key, but in our web role, if we use connection we need to set the connection string as "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myAccount;AccountKey=myKey;"
see more at https://www.connectionstrings.com/windows-azure/ , from my experience, if the connection string was correct and we use azure blob as
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs-20/ , I think we can access azure storage, I suggest you try local storage (UseDevelopmentStorage=true;) to test, if any further
information, please feel free to let me know, and sorry for my delay.

How to do paging in the Azure search?
how to do paging in the Azure search? please provide me any code if you have
If you want to see the example, you can check out the help topic as well at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn798927.aspx.
For example, Pablo talked about getting the first ten results. You would use
GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$skip=0&$top=10&api-version=2014-07-31-Preview
To get the second page use
GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$skip=10&$top=10&api-version=2014-07-31-Preview
To determine the total number of results returned, you would use the $count=true parameter to figure the number of pages based on your skip value.

I have a few questions regarding best practices for implementing Azure Search, I am working on loading Titles and Usernames into Azure Search with a unique ID as key, search would be on various matching words in Titles or Usernames:
- Is there a detailed article or whitepaper that discusses best practice?
- Should we always use filter instead of search to improve response time?
- I don't know how things work under the hood, is it possible to turn off certain features; for example, scoring profiles, to improve response time?
- Can i run a load test on GET queries? How many different GET queries? Does the same query get cached?
- I have setup an indexer with a AzureSQL data source with a data change policy against a DateModified column in the table. This indexer runs every 5 minutes. I'd imagine an index is necessary on this column in the SQL table? Also, when
the indexer runs, does it check all documents in the search index against the data source?
Thanks in advance,
KenWe don't have an end-to-end whitepaper that covers all of this yet. Here are notes on your specific questions, feel free to add more questions as details come up:
Filter vs search: in general, more selective queries (where the combination of filter + search matches less documents of the overall index) will run faster since we need to score and sort less documents. Whether you choose filter vs search: if you want
an exact boolean predicate then use a filter; if you want soft search criteria (with linguistics and such applied to it) then use search.
Scoring profiles are off by default. They only kick in if you create a scoring profile in the index explicitly and either reference it in queries or mark it as default. With no scoring profiles present, scoring of documents is based on the properties of
the search text and document text.
Yes, you can do your perf testing using GET for search requests. While the same query doesn't get cached the underlying data ends up being warmer. A good pattern is to have a bunch of keywords and have your test create different searches with 2-3 words each
(or whatever is typical in your scenario) based on those keywords.
For the SQL table question, yes, it's better if you have an index in the column you use as high-watermark so SQL doesn't need to do a table scan each time the indexer runs. The larger the table the more important this is.

Clustered Primary key in Azure search service
Hi ,
Can you please let us know if it is possible to created Clustered Primary Key in Azure Search Service.
We are unable to set the isKey property for more than one field in the index.
Also can you providers some pointers on enabling search against multiple indexes. we have a use case where the search has to be performed against 3 different tables and the results set is a combination of all the 3 tables.
Thanks,Since you mentioned setting the key property for more than one field, I think you're looking for compound keys, not clustered, is that correct? We don't support compound keys in Azure Search, to work around this you can concatenate (with a separator) the
all parts of the key into a single string value and use it in Azure Search.
Regarding multiple indexes, you can't search across multiple indexes in the same request right now. If you have different source tables and don't mind having them in the same index, you can index the content of the 3 tables into a single index (that has
the combined/overlapped columns of all) and then search that index.

Can Azure Search support indexing of documents (pdf, doc etc)
Hi,
I want to implement the azure search service indexing of documents (pdf, docs etc). is it possible ? if yes, then how ?
ThanksHi Shib,
I wanted to respond with a few ideas based on your question. As of today, we do not have a document cracker for Azure Search to allow you to index the content from files such as the ones you suggested. This is a pretty highly requested feature
(http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/suggestions/6328662-blob-indexing-w-file-crackers), but we have not too date been able
to prioritize this.
In the meantime, somethings you might consider looking at are iFilter or Apache Tika. These are both great options that would allow you to programmatically extract the text from these files. Based on the extracted text you could then post the
content to Azure Search. I personally think this example on CodeProject is a pretty good starting point if you were to consider using iFilter:

I hope that helps.

Sorted dynamic list problem - Azure Search Index
Hello Everyone,
Let's consider following problem: Vote app - we have 1000 NBA players and we want to create an app which first: let user vote for a player he wants to see in the All Star Game, second: user gets current rank list (example: Michael Jordan 1st - 1M votes,
Derrick Rose 2nd - 0,9M votes, .. , Freddy Kruger - 999th - 0 votes and so on).
Question: what is the best structure that can be implemented here to keep this data sorted? I would like to query this data source already sorted - it is not allowed to get the list of 1000 and sort locally in app. For example: 800 players can have 0 votes
and I do not want to download their names just to display '0 votes' next to their names. I would like to get only 50 with highest score at the moment. Index should be refreshed-rebuild after each new POST-vote request.
Can Azure Search service and its Index help me to solve this problem? The perfect .NET SortedList synchronized structure would look like this [votes][name]:
SortedList[99982]['Michael Jordan']
SortedList[89921]['Derrick Rose']
SortedList[0]['Freddy Kruger']
SortedList[0]['Ace Ventura'] -> but SortedList does not allow the 0 KEY to appear twice.
Regards,Hi pr0t,
It should be straightforward to get the data you want using the $orderby, $filter, and $top options. For example, if you have a field named vote, you could include this in your search request:
/indexes/players/docs?$orderby=vote desc&$filter=vote gt 0&$top=50
This will give the top 50 players by vote in descending order by vote. You can then put the data in whatever data structure you like on the client.
One thing to be aware of though is the way you update votes in the index. We highly recommend batching index updates as much as possible rather than updating one document at a time. You can have up to 1000 documents in a single batch when indexing. This
reduces overhead and indexing pressure on your search service.
Hope this helps,

Hi, Can i use Azure Search As A Service in Dotnetnuke..
hi,
I want to use faceted Navigation of Azure Search , in Dotnetnuke.
Is it possible?
Please Do Reply ....
Thank you..Hi,
Just to clarify, do you mean you want to use Azure Search from a website created using Dotnetnuke, or did you mean something else?
Azure Search exposes a REST API that can be called via HTTP from any platform or language.
In terms of faceted navigation specifically, this article may help you:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/search-faceted-navigation/
Please let me know if I understood your question correctly.

Azure Search for non-azure websites?
I am looking into Azure Search as a possible replacement for a dedicated server running SearchBlox and crawling several domains.
This might be painfully obvious to others, but is Azure Search designed to index non-azure websites? I am unable to figure out how to setup an index for a domain. Does the service not actually 'crawl' in the sense that Google Search or Bing Search would?
Thanks,Hi,
You can add documents to your search index by using REST API (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn798930.aspx). We are also working on automatically indexing SQL
and DocumentDb data. Currently, Azure Search doesn't support crawling Web sites - Azure Search focus is on searching app-provided data; Bing and Google generally do a great job for web pages. However, feel free to add your vote for this feature on our UserVoice

Exposing Azure Search Service through API Management
Hi everyone,
I've just setup the API Management and customised the portal for the APIs i'd like to manage. One of the APIs is actually an Azure Search instance. The only problem i can see is that the JSON response from the Azure Search contains a couple of URLs that
tie back to the Search, I've tried to add a policy to mask the URLs in the response, but it doesn't quite get it right and the resulting URLs don't work.
So, is it possible to properly expose the Search service through the API Management service with properly masked URLs?
thanks,
AndrewHi Miao,
thanks for your quick response.
Although I don't need to know a specific date - i'd be interested if there is a target for when this functionality may be added? e.g. 2 months, 6 months?
I'm evaluating the technology at the moment for a deliverable required in a couple of months and will need to decide whether to wait or develop a wrapper around the search service that removes the data we don't want exposed.
thanks,

Telemetry Support in Azure Search Service
Does Azure Search Service provides any out-of-the-box telemetry support?
For, example, does it store any data relating to which keyword has been searched the maximum number of time, or which filter has been applied more number of times, etc.Hi Pratik,
Not yet, although this has certainly been on our radar. I encourage you to submit specific asks on Azure Search UserVoice at
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search. That'll let other users vote and great help us prioritize features in this area.
Thanks!

Disabling "Suggestions" and "Recent Searches" drop down?
Hi! Does anyone know how to disable the "suggestions"/"recent searches" drop down that appears in Safari 4? I use Inquisitor and this is extreamly annoying. Thank you!
Well, there is a way to do it, but it depends on how attached you are to your browsing history. that is, do you need to keep your browsing history, or not?

The "Play Next" function in the search drop down menu does not work
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but my search drop down box is no longer working. It does show results but I cannont select them of add the songs to Play next on the playlist. I have iTunes 11.1.3.8
Thanks for your timePat,
Your menus look fine on my system, too. It is possible that your user is working on a system with javascript turned off, either on her own computer or, if she is in a company, turned off by the network administrator. Ask her how she is viewing your website...laptop, desktop, smartphone, tablet, etc., to help you pinpoint what your solution will be.
If her javascript is turned off (not to be turned on...), one strategy around this is to create pages linked to your top level menu items. On those pages, you can make text links (not dropdowns) to the menu items that show on the drop-downs. This could be paired with the next idea, as a sort of belt-and-suspenders solution.
A less obtrusive way: Add a secondary, substitute text menu that only appears when javascript is turned off by using <noscript> </noscript> tags around the secondary menus.
Be wary of solutions that require you to tell different users different things.
