SearchClient Class

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.azure.search.documents.SearchClient

public final class SearchClient

This class provides a client that contains the operations for querying an index and uploading, merging, or deleting documents in an Azure AI Search service.

Overview

Conceptually, a document is an entity in your index. Mapping this concept to more familiar database equivalents: a search index equates to a table, and documents are roughly equivalent to rows in a table. Documents exist only in an index, and are retrieved only through queries that target the documents collection (/docs) of an index. All operations performed on the collection such as uploading, merging, deleting, or querying documents take place in the context of a single index, so the URL format document operations will always include /indexes/[index name]/docs for a given index name.

This client provides a synchronous API for accessing and performing operations on indexed documents. This client assists with searching your indexed documents, autocompleting partially typed search terms based on documents within the index, suggesting the most likely matching text in documents as a user types. The client provides operations for adding, updating, and deleting documents from an index.

Getting Started

Authenticating and building instances of this client are handled by SearchClientBuilder. This sample shows you how to authenticate and create an instance of the client:

SearchClient searchClient = new SearchClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}"))
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .indexName("{indexName}")
     .buildClient();

For more information on authentication and building, see the SearchClientBuilder documentation.


Examples

The following examples all use a simple Hotel data set that you can import into your own index from the Azure portal. These are just a few of the basics - please check out our Samples for much more.

Upload a Document

The following sample uploads a new document to an index.

List<Hotel> hotels = new ArrayList<>();
 hotels.add(new Hotel().setHotelId("100"));
 hotels.add(new Hotel().setHotelId("200"));
 hotels.add(new Hotel().setHotelId("300"));
 searchClient.uploadDocuments(hotels);

For an asynchronous sample see uploadDocuments(Iterable<?> documents).

Merge a Document

The following sample merges documents in an index.

List<Hotel> hotels = new ArrayList<>();
 hotels.add(new Hotel().setHotelId("100"));
 hotels.add(new Hotel().setHotelId("200"));
 searchClient.mergeDocuments(hotels);

For an asynchronous sample see mergeDocuments(Iterable<?> documents).

Delete a Document

The following sample deletes a document from an index.

SearchDocument documentId = new SearchDocument();
 documentId.put("hotelId", "100");
 searchClient.deleteDocuments(Collections.singletonList(documentId));

For an asynchronous sample see deleteDocuments(Iterable<?> documents).

Get a Document

The following sample gets a document from an index.

Hotel hotel = searchClient.getDocument("100", Hotel.class);
 System.out.printf("Retrieved Hotel %s%n", hotel.getHotelId());

For an asynchronous sample see getDocument(String key, Class<T> modelClass).

Search Documents

The following sample searches for documents within an index.

SearchDocument searchDocument = new SearchDocument();
 searchDocument.put("hotelId", "8");
 searchDocument.put("description", "budget");
 searchDocument.put("descriptionFr", "motel");

 SearchDocument searchDocument1 = new SearchDocument();
 searchDocument1.put("hotelId", "9");
 searchDocument1.put("description", "budget");
 searchDocument1.put("descriptionFr", "motel");

 List<SearchDocument> searchDocuments = new ArrayList<>();
 searchDocuments.add(searchDocument);
 searchDocuments.add(searchDocument1);
 searchClient.uploadDocuments(searchDocuments);

 SearchPagedIterable results = searchClient.search("SearchText");
 System.out.printf("There are %s results.%n", results.getTotalCount());

For an asynchronous sample see search(String searchText).

Make a Suggestion

The following sample suggests the most likely matching text in documents.

SuggestPagedIterable suggestPagedIterable = searchClient.suggest("searchText", "sg");
 for (SuggestResult result: suggestPagedIterable) {
     System.out.printf("The suggested text is %s", result.getText());
 }

For an asynchronous sample see suggest(String searchText, String suggesterName).

Provide an Autocompletion

The following sample provides autocompletion for a partially typed query.

AutocompletePagedIterable autocompletePagedIterable = searchClient.autocomplete("searchText", "sg");
 for (AutocompleteItem result: autocompletePagedIterable) {
     System.out.printf("The complete term is %s", result.getText());
 }

For an asynchronous sample see autocomplete(String searchText, String suggesterName).

mergeDocuments

public IndexDocumentsResult mergeDocuments(Iterable documents)

Merges a collection of documents with existing documents in the target index.

If the type of the document contains non-nullable primitive-typed properties, these properties may not merge correctly. If you do not set such a property, it will automatically take its default value (for example, 0 for int or false for boolean), which will override the value of the property currently stored in the index, even if this was not your intent. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you always declare primitive-typed properties with their class equivalents (for example, an integer property should be of type Integer instead of int).

Code Sample

Merge dynamic SearchDocument.

SearchDocument searchDocument = new SearchDocument();
 searchDocument.put("hotelName", "merge");
 IndexDocumentsResult result = SEARCH_CLIENT.mergeDocuments(Collections.singletonList(searchDocument));
 for (IndexingResult indexingResult : result.getResults()) {
     System.out.printf("Does document with key %s merge successfully? %b%n", indexingResult.getKey(),
         indexingResult.isSucceeded());
 }

Parameters:

documents - collection of documents to be merged

Returns:

document index result

mergeDocumentsWithResponse

public Response mergeDocumentsWithResponse(Iterable documents, IndexDocumentsOptions options, Context context)

Merges a collection of documents with existing documents in the target index.

If the type of the document contains non-nullable primitive-typed properties, these properties may not merge correctly. If you do not set such a property, it will automatically take its default value (for example, 0 for int or false for boolean), which will override the value of the property currently stored in the index, even if this was not your intent. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you always declare primitive-typed properties with their class equivalents (for example, an integer property should be of type Integer instead of int).

Code Sample

Merge dynamic SearchDocument.

SearchDocument searchDocument = new SearchDocument();
 searchDocument.put("hotelName", "test");
 Response<IndexDocumentsResult> resultResponse = SEARCH_CLIENT.mergeDocumentsWithResponse(
     Collections.singletonList(searchDocument), null, new Context(KEY_1, VALUE_1));
 System.out.println("The status code of the response is " + resultResponse.getStatusCode());
 for (IndexingResult indexingResult : resultResponse.getValue().getResults()) {
     System.out.printf("Does document with key %s merge successfully? %b%n", indexingResult.getKey(),
         indexingResult.isSucceeded());
 }

Parameters:

documents - collection of documents to be merged.
options - Options that allow specifying document indexing behavior.
context - additional context that is passed through the Http pipeline during the service call

Returns:

response containing the document index result.

mergeOrUploadDocuments

public IndexDocumentsResult mergeOrUploadDocuments(Iterable documents)

This action behaves like merge if a document with the given key already exists in the index. If the document does not exist, it behaves like upload with a new document.

If the type of the document contains non-nullable primitive-typed properties, these properties may not merge correctly. If you do not set such a property, it will automatically take its default value (for example, 0 for int or false for boolean), which will override the value of the property currently stored in the index, even if this was not your intent. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you always declare primitive-typed properties with their class equivalents (for example, an integer property should be of type Integer instead of int).

Code Sample

Merge or upload dynamic SearchDocument.

SearchDocument searchDocument = new SearchDocument();
 searchDocument.put("hotelId", "1");
 searchDocument.put("hotelName", "test");
 IndexDocumentsResult result = SEARCH_CLIENT.mergeOrUploadDocuments(Collections.singletonList(searchDocument));
 for (IndexingResult indexingResult : result.getResults()) {
     System.out.printf("Does document with key %s mergeOrUpload successfully? %b%n", indexingResult.getKey(),
         indexingResult.isSucceeded());
 }

Parameters:

documents - collection of documents to be merged, if exists, otherwise uploaded

Returns:

document index result

mergeOrUploadDocumentsWithResponse

public Response mergeOrUploadDocumentsWithResponse(Iterable documents, IndexDocumentsOptions options, Context context)

This action behaves like merge if a document with the given key already exists in the index. If the document does not exist, it behaves like upload with a new document.

If the type of the document contains non-nullable primitive-typed properties, these properties may not merge correctly. If you do not set such a property, it will automatically take its default value (for example, 0 for int or false for boolean), which will override the value of the property currently stored in the index, even if this was not your intent. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you always declare primitive-typed properties with their class equivalents (for example, an integer property should be of type Integer instead of int).

search

public SearchPagedIterable search(String searchText)

Searches for documents in the Azure AI Search index.

If searchText is set to null or "*" all documents will be matched, see simple query syntax in Azure AI Search for more information about search query syntax.

The SearchPagedIterable will iterate through search result pages until all search results are returned. Each page is determined by the $skip and $top values and the Search service has a limit on the number of documents that can be skipped, more information about the $skip limit can be found at Search Documents REST API and reading the $skip description. If the total number of results exceeds the $skip limit the SearchPagedIterable won't prevent you from exceeding the $skip limit. To prevent exceeding the limit you can track the number of documents returned and stop requesting new pages when the limit is reached.

Code Sample

Search text from documents in service.

SearchPagedIterable searchPagedIterable = SEARCH_CLIENT.search("searchText");
 System.out.printf("There are around %d results.", searchPagedIterable.getTotalCount());

 long numberOfDocumentsReturned = 0;
 for (SearchPagedResponse resultResponse: searchPagedIterable.iterableByPage()) {
     System.out.println("The status code of the response is " + resultResponse.getStatusCode());
     numberOfDocumentsReturned += resultResponse.getValue().size();
     resultResponse.getValue().forEach(searchResult -> {
         for (Map.Entry<String, Object> keyValuePair: searchResult
             .getDocument(SearchDocument.class).entrySet()) {
             System.out.printf("Document key %s, document value %s", keyValuePair.getKey(),
                 keyValuePair.getValue());
         }
     });

     if (numberOfDocumentsReturned >= SEARCH_SKIP_LIMIT) {
         // Reached the $skip limit, stop requesting more documents.
         break;
     }
 }

Parameters:
