Hello Kaja Sherief
Thanks for reaching out in the Microsoft Q&A!
To address challenges with the file search functionality while using the Azure Assistant API, you should consult the official documentation for confirmation and updates, particularly the Azure Assistant API Documentation. Even if file search is available, you may encounter issues related to file indexing or permissions. It's imperative to ensure that your uploaded files are in a supported format, properly indexed, and that you grant the Assistant sufficient permissions to access them. Adjusting the temperature setting in your prompts, typically setting it higher around 1.0, can enhance the flexibility and creativity of your search approach with the Assistant. For further insights and guidance, consider referring to materials such as the Microsoft Azure AI Services documentation Azure Assistant API Documentation and blog posts like Retrieval with the Azure OpenAI Assistants API Retrieval with the Azure OpenAI Assistants API.
