Azure.Search.Documents is the .NET SDK for Azure AI Search. It covers querying indexes with full-text, vector, semantic, and hybrid search, plus document CRUD and index management.
Instead of writing raw HTTP calls to the Azure Search REST API, the SDK handles serialization, retry logic, and type-safe index definitions through model attributes.
When to use it
- Running hybrid search queries that combine keyword, vector, and semantic ranking in a single request
- Building autocomplete and suggestion UIs backed by an Azure Search index
- Uploading and updating document batches in a .NET application
- Creating and managing search indexes from C# model classes using FieldBuilder
- Fetching extractive answers and captions from natural language queries against structured data
