Azure Cognitive Search (formerly known as "Azure Search") is a PaaS cloud search service that gives developers APIs and tools for building a rich search experience over private, heterogeneous content in web, mobile, and enterprise applications.

 

If you are creating an application that needs a "search box", Azure Cognitive Search can make take care of a lot of complexity for you. Think of all that goes into creating a great search experience:

We now even support new capabilities like semantic search that use the latest in AI to provide you semantic ranking and answers (this is in preview right now).
