7. What about Azure Search Service?
 This service recently left preview version
 Based on Elastic Search
 This service allow us create simple and complete search experiences
 WE DON´T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SEARCH INFRAESTRUCTURE
 Available SDK.NET or API REST to work with it

8. How does Azure Search work?
Schema
Documents
1.- Creating indexes
2.- Population

API REST or SDK.NET

10. What about Indexes?
 Indexes are the main way to order and search content in Azure
Search
 It is similar to how to order registers in tables of databases
 Each index has an schema (fields, field types, properties)
 Furthermore, there are other elements inside an index (such as
suggestion providers, scoring profiles, and so on…)

 There are three options:
 Using SDK.NET for Azure Search
 Using API REST
 Using Azure portal
 Making a Console Application to create indexes:
1. Connect to Azure Search
2. Test if index exists and delete it (best practice)
3. Create index schema
4. Populate the index
