Productivity tools - Azure Cognitive Search

Productivity tools are built by engineers at Microsoft, but aren't part of the Azure Cognitive Search service and aren't under Service Level Agreement (SLA). These tools are provided as source code that you can download, modify, and build to create an app that helps you develop or maintain a search solution.

Tool name	Description	Source code
Azure Cognitive Search Lab readme	Connects to your search service with a Web UI that exercises the full REST API, including the ability to edit a live search index.	https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-lab
Back up and Restore readme	Download a populated search index to your local device and then upload the index and its content to a new search service.	https://github.com/liamca/azure-search-backup-restore
Knowledge Mining Accelerator readme	Code and docs to jump start a knowledge store using your data.	https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-knowledge-mining
Performance testing readme	This solution helps you load test Azure Cognitive Search. It uses Apache JMeter as an open source load and performance testing tool and Terraform to dynamically provision and destroy the required infrastructure on Azure.	https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-performance-testing
Visual Studio Code extension	Although the extension is no longer available in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, the code is open sourced at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurecognitivesearch. You can clone and modify the tool for your own use.
