Understanding the Process
This image illustrates a simplified workflow for creating Azure Cognitive Search analysis services. It highlights the core steps and integrations involved in setting up a robust search solution within the Azure ecosystem.
- Resource Provisioning: Initiating the creation of an Azure Cognitive Search resource.
- Data Ingestion: Connecting to various data sources (e.g., Azure Blob Storage, SQL Database) to pull information.
- Index Definition: Defining the structure and schema of your search index.
- Skillset Configuration: Incorporating AI skills (e.g., OCR, entity recognition) for enhanced data enrichment.
- Index Population: Running an indexer to process data and populate the search index.
- Querying: Interacting with the search index to retrieve relevant results.
Azure Cognitive Search provides powerful tools for building sophisticated search experiences, from simple keyword searches to complex faceted navigation and AI-driven insights.
