I'd love to gain some insight into the pricing model of vector search. Based on the limited information available on the semantic feature in Cognitive Search, I'm guessing there will be some base cost of ~$500 per month. Why the base cost component? Also, what will be the price be approximately per token/document ingested? Thanks!

Adding to Liam's answer, using semantic search along with vector search is not a requirement to use vector search features itself. Customers may often find that semantic search will improve the relevance and ranking of the search results, so you may wish to perform testing on whether to use semantic search if you are more sensitive to the base cost.

 

If you are only using vector search, there are no additional costs to use this feature within your pre-existing search service. Please note the service limits and restrictions outlined in these pages below:
