    To index a specific collection from a Cosmos DB data source using Azure Cognitive Search, you need to create a data source, index, and indexer. Here are the steps:

    1. Create a data source: In the Azure Cognitive Search portal, create a new data source and select "Azure Cosmos DB" as the source type. Provide the connection string for your Cosmos DB account and select the database and collection you want to index.
    2. Create an index: Create a new index in the Azure Cognitive Search portal and define the schema to match the structure of your Cosmos DB collection. Make sure to map the fields you want to search on.
    3. Create an indexer: Create a new indexer in the Azure Cognitive Search portal and specify the data source and index you created in the previous steps. The indexer will automatically extract data from your Cosmos DB collection and populate the search index.

    If you're having trouble indexing a second collection, make sure you have created a separate data source, index, and indexer for that collection. Also, check that the connection string and permissions are correct for the second collection.
