Can a semantic query type support advanced query forms?

I am working with Azure Cognitive Search and while going through its documentation I came across the advanced query forms like fielded search, fuzzy search, proximity search and many more, but all of these advanced forms were supported by queryType = full

Are these advanced query forms also supported by queryType = semantic?

Here is the documentation link I am referring to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-query-overview

    Hello @Vadiraj Rao ,

    Thanks for the question. The advanced query forms like fielded search, fuzzy search, proximity search, etc are not currently supported by queryType=semantic. Only the simple query syntax is supported by queryType=semantic

    The full Lucene query syntax, which supports advanced query forms, is only supported by queryType=full

    Please see this Azure doc for more info:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-lucene-query-architecture

    Hope that helps

    -Grace
