Azure AI search is good but i'm wondering if we can tweak the inbuilt algorithm for example currently it's supporting BM25 for keyword matching it would be really good if they can include more options into it

“Powerful Azure AI Search Yet Steep Learning Curve For Advanced Configurations”
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.
