SearchField Class

The name of the field, which must be unique within the fields collection of the index or parent field. Required.

The data type of the field. Required. Known values are: "Edm.String", "Edm.Int32", "Edm.Int64", "Edm.Double", "Edm.Boolean", "Edm.DateTimeOffset", "Edm.GeographyPoint", "Edm.ComplexType", "Edm.Single", "Edm.Half", "Edm.Int16", "Edm.SByte", and "Edm.Byte".

A value indicating whether the field uniquely identifies documents in the index. Exactly one top-level field in each index must be chosen as the key field and it must be of type Edm.String. Key fields can be used to look up documents directly and update or delete specific documents. Default is false for simple fields and null for complex fields.

An immutable value indicating whether the field will be persisted separately on disk to be returned in a search result. You can disable this option if you don't plan to return the field contents in a search response to save on storage overhead. This can only be set during index creation and only for vector fields. This property cannot be changed for existing fields or set as false for new fields. If this property is set as false, the property 'hidden' must be set to true. This property must be true or unset for key fields, for new fields, and for non-vector fields, and it must be null for complex fields. Disabling this property will reduce index storage requirements. The default is true for vector fields.

A value indicating whether the field is full-text searchable. This means it will undergo analysis such as word-breaking during indexing. If you set a searchable field to a value like "sunny day", internally it will be split into the individual tokens "sunny" and "day". This enables full-text searches for these terms. Fields of type Edm.String or Collection(Edm.String) are searchable by default. This property must be false for simple fields of other non-string data types, and it must be null for complex fields. Note: searchable fields consume extra space in your index since Azure Cognitive Search will store an additional tokenized version of the field value for full-text searches. If you want to save space in your index and you don't need a field to be included in searches, set searchable to false.

A value indicating whether to enable the field to be referenced in $filter queries. filterable differs from searchable in how strings are handled. Fields of type Edm.String or Collection(Edm.String) that are filterable do not undergo word-breaking, so comparisons are for exact matches only. For example, if you set such a field f to "sunny day", $filter=f eq 'sunny' will find no matches, but $filter=f eq 'sunny day' will. This property must be null for complex fields. Default is true for simple fields and null for complex fields.

A value indicating whether to enable the field to be referenced in $orderby expressions. By default Azure Cognitive Search sorts results by score, but in many experiences users will want to sort by fields in the documents. A simple field can be sortable only if it is single-valued (it has a single value in the scope of the parent document). Simple collection fields cannot be sortable, since they are multi-valued. Simple sub-fields of complex collections are also multi-valued, and therefore cannot be sortable. This is true whether it's an immediate parent field, or an ancestor field, that's the complex collection. Complex fields cannot be sortable and the sortable property must be null for such fields. The default for sortable is true for single-valued simple fields, false for multi-valued simple fields, and null for complex fields.

A value indicating whether to enable the field to be referenced in facet queries. Typically used in a presentation of search results that includes hit count by category (for example, search for digital cameras and see hits by brand, by megapixels, by price, and so on). This property must be null for complex fields. Fields of type Edm.GeographyPoint or Collection(Edm.GeographyPoint) cannot be facetable. Default is true for all other simple fields.

The name of the analyzer to use for the field. This option can be used only with searchable fields and it can't be set together with either searchAnalyzer or indexAnalyzer. Once the analyzer is chosen, it cannot be changed for the field. Must be null for complex fields. Known values are: "ar.microsoft", "ar.lucene", "hy.lucene", "bn.microsoft", "eu.lucene", "bg.microsoft", "bg.lucene", "ca.microsoft", "ca.lucene", "zh-Hans.microsoft", "zh-Hans.lucene", "zh-Hant.microsoft", "zh-Hant.lucene", "hr.microsoft", "cs.microsoft", "cs.lucene", "da.microsoft", "da.lucene", "nl.microsoft", "nl.lucene", "en.microsoft", "en.lucene", "et.microsoft", "fi.microsoft", "fi.lucene", "fr.microsoft", "fr.lucene", "gl.lucene", "de.microsoft", "de.lucene", "el.microsoft", "el.lucene", "gu.microsoft", "he.microsoft", "hi.microsoft", "hi.lucene", "hu.microsoft", "hu.lucene", "is.microsoft", "id.microsoft", "id.lucene", "ga.lucene", "it.microsoft", "it.lucene", "ja.microsoft", "ja.lucene", "kn.microsoft", "ko.microsoft", "ko.lucene", "lv.microsoft", "lv.lucene", "lt.microsoft", "ml.microsoft", "ms.microsoft", "mr.microsoft", "nb.microsoft", "no.lucene", "fa.lucene", "pl.microsoft", "pl.lucene", "pt-BR.microsoft", "pt-BR.lucene", "pt-PT.microsoft", "pt-PT.lucene", "pa.microsoft", "ro.microsoft", "ro.lucene", "ru.microsoft", "ru.lucene", "sr-cyrillic.microsoft", "sr-latin.microsoft", "sk.microsoft", "sl.microsoft", "es.microsoft", "es.lucene", "sv.microsoft", "sv.lucene", "ta.microsoft", "te.microsoft", "th.microsoft", "th.lucene", "tr.microsoft", "tr.lucene", "uk.microsoft", "ur.microsoft", "vi.microsoft", "standard.lucene", "standardasciifolding.lucene", "keyword", "pattern", "simple", "stop", and "whitespace".

The name of the analyzer used at search time for the field. This option can be used only with searchable fields. It must be set together with indexAnalyzer and it cannot be set together with the analyzer option. This property cannot be set to the name of a language analyzer; use the analyzer property instead if you need a language analyzer. This analyzer can be updated on an existing field. Must be null for complex fields. Known values are: "ar.microsoft", "ar.lucene", "hy.lucene", "bn.microsoft", "eu.lucene", "bg.microsoft", "bg.lucene", "ca.microsoft", "ca.lucene", "zh-Hans.microsoft", "zh-Hans.lucene", "zh-Hant.microsoft", "zh-Hant.lucene", "hr.microsoft", "cs.microsoft", "cs.lucene", "da.microsoft", "da.lucene", "nl.microsoft", "nl.lucene", "en.microsoft", "en.lucene", "et.microsoft", "fi.microsoft", "fi.lucene", "fr.microsoft", "fr.lucene", "gl.lucene", "de.microsoft", "de.lucene", "el.microsoft", "el.lucene", "gu.microsoft", "he.microsoft", "hi.microsoft", "hi.lucene", "hu.microsoft", "hu.lucene", "is.microsoft", "id.microsoft", "id.lucene", "ga.lucene", "it.microsoft", "it.lucene", "ja.microsoft", "ja.lucene", "kn.microsoft", "ko.microsoft", "ko.lucene", "lv.microsoft", "lv.lucene", "lt.microsoft", "ml.microsoft", "ms.microsoft", "mr.microsoft", "nb.microsoft", "no.lucene", "fa.lucene", "pl.microsoft", "pl.lucene", "pt-BR.microsoft", "pt-BR.lucene", "pt-PT.microsoft", "pt-PT.lucene", "pa.microsoft", "ro.microsoft", "ro.lucene", "ru.microsoft", "ru.lucene", "sr-cyrillic.microsoft", "sr-latin.microsoft", "sk.microsoft", "sl.microsoft", "es.microsoft", "es.lucene", "sv.microsoft", "sv.lucene", "ta.microsoft", "te.microsoft", "th.microsoft", "th.lucene", "tr.microsoft", "tr.lucene", "uk.microsoft", "ur.microsoft", "vi.microsoft", "standard.lucene", "standardasciifolding.lucene", "keyword", "pattern", "simple", "stop", and "whitespace".

The dimensionality of the vector field.

The name of the vector search profile that specifies the algorithm to use when searching the vector field.

A list of the names of synonym maps to associate with this field. This option can be used only with searchable fields. Currently only one synonym map per field is supported. Assigning a synonym map to a field ensures that query terms targeting that field are expanded at query-time using the rules in the synonym map. This attribute can be changed on existing fields. Must be null or an empty collection for complex fields.

A list of sub-fields if this is a field of type Edm.ComplexType or Collection(Edm.ComplexType). Must be null or empty for simple fields.

The encoding format to interpret the field contents. "packedBit"
