Reset Indexer (Azure AI Search REST API)
The Reset Indexer operation resets the change tracking state of indexed documents so that you can rebuild the index from scratch on the next run. A reset might be required if the data source schema has changed, or if you are modifying the change detection policy. For information about change tracking state, see Create Data Source.
