LUIS vs. Semantic
Does the semantic search use LUIS behind the scenes or should it be added to the equation prior to the query being passed into the search?
aowens-jmt: Semantic search does not use LUIS behind the scenes. You can learn more about the capability from the announcement here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-ai/introducing-semantic-search-bringing-more-meaningful-results-to/ba-p/2175636
You can refer to this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/semantic-how-to-query-request.

Would you consider Semantic Search to be good enough on its own and is there much benefit in adding LUIS to it?
aowens-jmt Thank you for your question. We encourage you to try out semantic search on its own and provide us with any feedback that you may have.
- aowens-jmt - semantic search allows you to use natural language as part of search queries.
LUIS allows you to build natural language into your apps/bots & IoT services. It depends on the needs of your application.
