Installation
npm install @azure/search-documents @azure/identity
Environment Variables
AZURE_SEARCH_ENDPOINT=https://<service-name>.search.windows.net
AZURE_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME=my-index
AZURE_SEARCH_ADMIN_KEY=<admin-key> # Optional if using Entra ID
Authentication
import { SearchClient, SearchIndexClient } from "@azure/search-documents";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
const endpoint = process.env.AZURE_SEARCH_ENDPOINT!;
const indexName = process.env.AZURE_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME!;
const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
// For searching
const searchClient = new SearchClient(endpoint, indexName, credential);
// For index management
const indexClient = new SearchIndexClient(endpoint, credential);
Core Workflow
Create Index with Vector Field
import { SearchIndex, SearchField, VectorSearch } from "@azure/search-documents";
const index: SearchIndex = {
name: "products",
fields: [
{ name: "id", type: "Edm.String", key: true },
{ name: "title", type: "Edm.String", searchable: true },
{ name: "description", type: "Edm.String", searchable: true },
{ name: "category", type: "Edm.String", filterable: true, facetable: true },
{
name: "embedding",
type: "Collection(Edm.Single)",
searchable: true,
vectorSearchDimensions: 1536,
vectorSearchProfileName: "vector-profile",
},
],
vectorSearch: {
algorithms: [
{ name: "hnsw-algorithm", kind: "hnsw" },
],
profiles: [
{ name: "vector-profile", algorithmConfigurationName: "hnsw-algorithm" },
],
},
};
await indexClient.createOrUpdateIndex(index);
Index Documents
const documents = [
{ id: "1", title: "Widget", description: "A useful widget", category: "Tools", embedding: [...] },
{ id: "2", title: "Gadget", description: "A cool gadget", category: "Electronics", embedding: [...] },
];
const result = await searchClient.uploadDocuments(documents);
console.log(`Indexed ${result.results.length} documents`);
Full-Text Search
const results = await searchClient.search("widget", {
select: ["id", "title", "description"],
filter: "category eq 'Tools'",
orderBy: ["title asc"],
top: 10,
});
for await (const result of results.results) {
console.log(`${result.document.title}: ${result.score}`);
}
Vector Search
const queryVector = await getEmbedding("useful tool"); // Your embedding function
const results = await searchClient.search("*", {
vectorSearchOptions: {
queries: [
{
kind: "vector",
vector: queryVector,
fields: ["embedding"],
kNearestNeighborsCount: 10,
},
],
},
select: ["id", "title", "description"],
});
for await (const result of results.results) {
console.log(`${result.document.title}: ${result.score}`);
}
Hybrid Search (Text + Vector)
const queryVector = await getEmbedding("useful tool");
const results = await searchClient.search("tool", {
vectorSearchOptions: {
queries: [
{
kind: "vector",
vector: queryVector,
fields: ["embedding"],
kNearestNeighborsCount: 50,
},
],
},
select: ["id", "title", "description"],
top: 10,
});
Semantic Search
// Index must have semantic configuration
const index: SearchIndex = {
name: "products",
fields: [...],
semanticSearch: {
configurations: [
{
name: "semantic-config",
prioritizedFields: {
titleField: { name: "title" },
contentFields: [{ name: "description" }],
},
},
],
},
};
// Search with semantic ranking
const results = await searchClient.search("best tool for the job", {
queryType: "semantic",
semanticSearchOptions: {
configurationName: "semantic-config",
captions: { captionType: "extractive" },
answers: { answerType: "extractive", count: 3 },
},
select: ["id", "title", "description"],
});
for await (const result of results.results) {
console.log(`${result.document.title}`);
console.log(` Caption: ${result.captions?.[0]?.text}`);
console.log(` Reranker Score: ${result.rerankerScore}`);
}
Filtering and Facets
// Filter syntax
const results = await searchClient.search("*", {
filter: "category eq 'Electronics' and price lt 100",
facets: ["category,count:10", "brand"],
});
// Access facets
for (const [facetName, facetResults] of Object.entries(results.facets || {})) {
console.log(`${facetName}:`);
for (const facet of facetResults) {
console.log(` ${facet.value}: ${facet.count}`);
}
}
Autocomplete and Suggestions
// Create suggester in index
const index: SearchIndex = {
name: "products",
fields: [...],
