    Thanks for asking question!

    File support depends on the source supported files:

    Blob: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-indexing-azure-blob-storage#supported-document-formats

    File: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-file-storage-integration#supported-document-formats

    ADLS Gen2” https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-index-azure-data-lake-storage#supported-document-formats

    As per your query regarding .parquet files you may consider an extra step using Data Factory to convert to any of the supported formats and send to a supported data source for Azure Search ingestion.

    Hope this helps. Let us know.
