URI Parameters

Name	In	Required	Type	Description
endpoint	path	True	string	The endpoint URL of the search service.
indexName	path	True	string	The name of the index.
api-version	query	True	string	Client Api Version.

Request Header

Name	Required	Type	Description
x-ms-client-request-id		string uuid	The tracking ID sent with the request to help with debugging.

Request Body

Name	Type	Description
answers	QueryAnswerType	A value that specifies whether answers should be returned as part of the search response.
captions	QueryCaptionType	A value that specifies whether captions should be returned as part of the search response.
count	boolean	A value that specifies whether to fetch the total count of results. Default is false. Setting this value to true may have a performance impact. Note that the count returned is an approximation.
facets	string[]	The list of facet expressions to apply to the search query. Each facet expression contains a field name, optionally followed by a comma-separated list of name:value pairs.
filter	string	The OData $filter expression to apply to the search query.
highlight	string	The comma-separated list of field names to use for hit highlights. Only searchable fields can be used for hit highlighting.
highlightPostTag	string	A string tag that is appended to hit highlights. Must be set with highlightPreTag. Default is </em>.
highlightPreTag	string	A string tag that is prepended to hit highlights. Must be set with highlightPostTag. Default is <em>.
minimumCoverage	number	A number between 0 and 100 indicating the percentage of the index that must be covered by a search query in order for the query to be reported as a success. This parameter can be useful for ensuring search availability even for services with only one replica. The default is 100.
orderby	string	The comma-separated list of OData $orderby expressions by which to sort the results. Each expression can be either a field name or a call to either the geo.distance() or the search.score() functions. Each expression can be followed by asc to indicate ascending, or desc to indicate descending. The default is ascending order. Ties will be broken by the match scores of documents. If no $orderby is specified, the default sort order is descending by document match score. There can be at most 32 $orderby clauses.
queryType	QueryType	A value that specifies the syntax of the search query. The default is 'simple'. Use 'full' if your query uses the Lucene query syntax.
scoringParameters	string[]	The list of parameter values to be used in scoring functions (for example, referencePointParameter) using the format name-values. For example, if the scoring profile defines a function with a parameter called 'mylocation' the parameter string would be "mylocation--122.2,44.8" (without the quotes).
scoringProfile	string	The name of a scoring profile to evaluate match scores for matching documents in order to sort the results.
scoringStatistics	ScoringStatistics	A value that specifies whether we want to calculate scoring statistics (such as document frequency) globally for more consistent scoring, or locally, for lower latency. The default is 'local'. Use 'global' to aggregate scoring statistics globally before scoring. Using global scoring statistics can increase latency of search queries.
search	string	A full-text search query expression; Use "*" or omit this parameter to match all documents.
searchFields	string	The comma-separated list of field names to which to scope the full-text search. When using fielded search (fieldName:searchExpression) in a full Lucene query, the field names of each fielded search expression take precedence over any field names listed in this parameter.
searchMode	SearchMode	A value that specifies whether any or all of the search terms must be matched in order to count the document as a match.
select	string	The comma-separated list of fields to retrieve. If unspecified, all fields marked as retrievable in the schema are included.
semanticConfiguration	string	The name of a semantic configuration that will be used when processing documents for queries of type semantic.
semanticErrorHandling	SemanticErrorMode	Allows the user to choose whether a semantic call should fail completely (default / current behavior), or to return partial results.
semanticMaxWaitInMilliseconds	integer	Allows the user to set an upper bound on the amount of time it takes for semantic enrichment to finish processing before the request fails.
semanticQuery	string	Allows setting a separate search query that will be solely used for semantic reranking, semantic captions and semantic answers. Is useful for scenarios where there is a need to use different queries between the base retrieval and ranking phase, and the L2 semantic phase.
sessionId	string	A value to be used to create a sticky session, which can help getting more consistent results. As long as the same sessionId is used, a best-effort attempt will be made to target the same replica set. Be wary that reusing the same sessionID values repeatedly can interfere with the load balancing of the requests across replicas and adversely affect the performance of the search service. The value used as sessionId cannot start with a '_' character.
skip	integer	The number of search results to skip. This value cannot be greater than 100,000. If you need to scan documents in sequence, but cannot use skip due to this limitation, consider using orderby on a totally-ordered key and filter with a range query instead.
top	integer	The number of search results to retrieve. This can be used in conjunction with $skip to implement client-side paging of search results. If results are truncated due to server-side paging, the response will include a continuation token that can be used to issue another Search request for the next page of results.
vectorFilterMode	VectorFilterMode	Determines whether or not filters are applied before or after the vector search is performed. Default is 'preFilter' for new indexes.
vectorQueries	VectorQuery[]: RawVectorQuery[] VectorizableTextQuery[]	The query parameters for vector and hybrid search queries.

Specifies the syntax of the search query. The default is 'simple'. Use 'full' if your query uses the Lucene query syntax.

Name	Type	Description
full	string	Uses the full Lucene query syntax for searches. Search text is interpreted using the Lucene query language which allows field-specific and weighted searches, as well as other advanced features.
semantic	string	Best suited for queries expressed in natural language as opposed to keywords. Improves precision of search results by re-ranking the top search results using a ranking model trained on the Web corpus.

@search.score	number	The relevance score of the document compared to other documents returned by the query.

SemanticErrorMode

Allows the user to choose whether a semantic call should fail completely (default / current behavior), or to return partial results.

Name	Type	Description
fail	string	If there is an exception during the semantic processing step, the query will fail and return the appropriate HTTP code depending on the error.
partial	string	If the semantic processing fails, partial results still return. The definition of partial results depends on what semantic step failed and what was the reason for failure.

SemanticErrorReason

Reason that a partial response was returned for a semantic ranking request.

oversampling	number	Oversampling factor. Minimum value is 1. It overrides the 'defaultOversampling' parameter configured in the index definition. It can be set only when 'rerankWithOriginalVectors' is true. This parameter is only permitted when a compression method is used on the underlying vector field.
text	string	The text to be vectorized to perform a vector search query.
weight	number	Relative weight of the vector query when compared to other vector query and/or the text query within the same search request. This value is used when combining the results of multiple ranking lists produced by the different vector queries and/or the results retrieved through the text query. The higher the weight, the higher the documents that matched that query will be in the final ranking. Default is 1.0 and the value needs to be a positive number larger than zero.
