Overall experience with Azure AI search is very good and positive. I like the features that Azure AI search offers including Natural Language Queries and Semantic Search. It also makes it simple to index and search large datasets. It also provides seamless integration with other Azure products and has the ability to scale based on the workload, which is the major advantage of this service.

Overall, Azure AI Search has been a solid experience. It’s quite powerful when you start combining it with other Azure services like Blob Storage or Azure OpenAI, especially for building search or AI-driven applications. It handles indexing and querying well, and once things are set up properly, it performs reliably. That said, getting started isn’t the easiest. There’s definitely a learning curve, and I often felt that the documentation could be clearer—especially when trying to implement more advanced use cases. More real-world examples would make a big difference.
