LUIS vs. Semantic

[aowens-jmt]

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...

You can refer to this article to learn how to create a semantic query.

Would you consider Semantic Search to be good enough on its own and is there much benefit in adding LUIS to it?

@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.

@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.
