Azure Search Plugin

Azure Search Plugin interfaces with the Microsoft Azure Search service to provide search capabilities for any FarCry application. Azure Search is an API based implementation of the Azure Search service, and the plugin works similarly to the FarCry Solr Pro Plugin.

Easily add sophisticated cloud search capabilities to your website or application using the same integrated Microsoft natural language stack that’s used in Bing and Office and that’s been improved over 16 years. Quickly tune search results and construct rich, fine-tuned ranking models to tie search results to business goals. Reliable throughput and storage give you fast search indexing and querying to support time-sensitive search scenarios.
