How to Configure 'vectorSearchConfiguration' for a SearchField Field called contentVector

Question

I'm defining an index with multiple fields, including a "contentVector" field for vector data. However, I'm encountering a specific error, and I'm not sure how to correctly set the "vectorSearchConfiguration" property for the "contentVector" field.

I've tried to configure the "vectorSearchConfiguration" property, but I'm unsure of the correct way to do it. Can someone please guide me on how to properly set the "vectorSearchConfiguration" for the "contentVector" field?

Code snippet and the error-

SearchField(name="contentVector", type=SearchFieldDataType.Collection(SearchFieldDataType.Single),
                searchable=True, vector_search_dimensions=1536,
                vector_search_configuration='my-vector-config')

raise HttpResponseError(response=response, model=error) azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError: (InvalidRequestParameter) The request is invalid. Details: definition : The vector field 'contentVector' must have the property 'vectorSearchConfiguration' set. Code: InvalidRequestParameter Message: The request is invalid.

@Anonymous ,

Thanks for posting this question. Based on the issue description, I understand you have already tried setting the property.

Under your "contentVector" field, ensure that you are defining that you will be using it. Take a look at the sample vectors js.

Also, ensure vectorSearchConfiguration" is not null.

Example: "vectorSearchConfiguration":"default-test",

change vectorSearchConfiguration": null ---> vectorSearchConfiguration": "default-test”

Kindly let us know, I'll follow-up with you further.
