Search Documents (Azure AI Search REST API)

Important

This API reference is for a legacy version. See Data plane REST operations for updated reference documentation. Use the filter on the top left to select a version.

A query request targets the documents collection of a single index on a search service. It includes parameters that define the match criteria, and parameters that shape the response. Starting in the 2021-04-30-Preview API version, you can also use an index alias to target a particular index instead of using the index name itself.

You can use GET or POST. Query parameters are specified on the query string for GET requests, and in the request body for POST requests.

GET https://[service name].search.windows.net/indexes/[index name]/docs?[query parameters] 
  Content-Type: application/json   
  api-key: [admin or query key]  

If you're using POST, add the "search" action as a URI parameter.

POST https://[service name].search.windows.net/indexes/[index name]/docs/search?api-version=[api-version]  
  Content-Type: application/json  
  api-key: [admin or query key]  

When called with GET, the length of the request URL can't exceed 8 KB. This length is usually enough for most applications. However, some applications produce large queries, specifically when OData filter expressions are used. For these applications, HTTP POST is a better choice because it allows larger filters than GET.

With POST, the number of clauses in a filter is the limiting factor, not the size of the raw filter string since the request size limit for POST is approximately 16 MB. Even though the POST request size limit is large, filter expressions can't be arbitrarily complex. For more information about filter complexity limitations, see OData Expression Syntax for Azure AI Search.

URI Parameters

Parameter Description
[service name] Required. Set this to the unique, user-defined name of your search service.
[index name]/docs Required. Specifies the documents collection of a named index.
[query parameters] Query parameters are specified on the URI for GET requests and in the request body for POST requests.
api-version Required. The current stable version is api-version=2020-06-30. See API versions for more versions. For queries, the api-version is always specified as a URI parameter for both GET and POST.

URL-encoding recommendations

Remember to URL-encode specific query parameters when calling the GET REST API directly. For a Search Documents operation, URL-encoding might be necessary for the following query parameters:

  • search
  • $filter
  • facet
  • highlightPreTag
  • highlightPostTag

URL encoding is only recommended for individual parameters. If you inadvertently URL-encode the entire query string (everything after the ?), requests will break.

Also, URL encoding is only necessary when calling the REST API directly using GET. No URL encoding is necessary when using POST, or when using the Azure AI Search .NET client library, which handles encoding for you.

Request Headers

The following table describes the required and optional request headers.

Fields Description
Content-Type Required. Set this to "application/json"
api-key Optional if you're using Azure roles and a bearer token is provided on the request, otherwise a key is required. An api-key is a unique, system-generated string that authenticates the request to your search service. Query requests against the documents collection can specify either an admin-key or query-key as the API key. The query-key is used for read-only operations against the documents collection. See Connect to Azure AI Search using key authentication for details.

Request Body

For GET: None.

For POST:

{  
     "count": true | false (default),  
     "facets": [ "facet_expression_1", "facet_expression_2", ... ],  
     "filter": "odata_filter_expression",  
     "highlight": "highlight_field_1, highlight_field_2, ...",  
     "highlightPreTag": "pre_tag",  
     "highlightPostTag": "post_tag",  
     "minimumCoverage": # (% of index that must be covered to declare query successful; default 100),  
     "orderby": "orderby_expression",  
     "queryType": "simple" (default) | "full",
     "scoringParameters": [ "scoring_parameter_1", "scoring_parameter_2", ... ],  
     "scoringProfile": "scoring_profile_name",  
     "scoringStatistics" : "local" | "global",
     "search": "simple_query_expression",  
     "searchFields": "field_name_1, field_name_2, ...",  
     "searchMode": "any" (default) | "all",  
     "select": "field_name_1, field_name_2, ...",  
     "sessionId" : "session_id",
     "skip": # (default 0),  
     "top": #  
   }  

Continuation of Partial Search Responses

Sometimes Azure AI Search can't return all the requested results in a single Search response. This can happen for different reasons, such as when the query requests too many documents by not specifying $top or specifying a value for $top that is too large. In such cases, Azure AI Search includes the @odata.nextLink annotation in the response body, and also @search.nextPageParameters if it was a POST request. You can use the values of these annotations to formulate another Search request to get the next part of the search response. This is called a continuation of the original Search request, and the annotations are generally called continuation tokens. See the example in Response below for details on the syntax of these annotations and where they appear in the response body.

The reasons why Azure AI Search might return continuation tokens are implementation-specific and subject to change. Robust clients should always be ready to handle cases where fewer documents than expected are returned and a continuation token is included to continue retrieving documents. Also note that you must use the same HTTP method as the original request in order to continue. For example, if you sent a GET request, any continuation requests you send must also use GET (and likewise for POST).

Note

The purpose of @odata.nextLink and @search.nextPageParameters is to protect the service from queries that request too many results, not to provide a general mechanism for paging. If you want to page through results, use $top and $skip together. For example, if you want pages of size 10, your first request should have $top=10 and $skip=0, the second request should have $top=10 and $skip=10, the third request should have $top=10 and $skip=20, and so on.

Query Parameters

A query accepts several parameters on the URL when called with GET, and as JSON properties in the request body when called with POST. The syntax for some parameters is slightly different between GET and POST. These differences are noted as applicable below.

Name Type Description
api-version string Required. Version of the REST API used for the request. For a list of supported versions, see API versions. For this operation, the api-version is specified as a URI parameter regardless of whether you call Search Documents with GET or POST.
$count boolean Optional. Valid values are "true" or "false". Defaults to "false". When called with POST, this parameter is named count instead of $count. Specifies whether to fetch the total count of results. This is the count of all documents that match the search and $filter parameters, ignoring $top and $skip. Setting this value to "true" may degrade performance. Count is accurate if the index is stable, but will under or over-report any documents that are actively added, updated, or deleted. If you’d like to get only the count without any documents, you can use $top=0.
facet or facets string Optional. A field to facet by, where the field is attributed as "facetable". When called with GET, facet is a field (facet: field1). When called with POST, this parameter is named facets instead of facet and it's specified as an array (facets: [field1, field2, field3]). The string may contain parameters to customize the faceting, expressed as comma-separated name-value pairs.

Valid parameters are "count", "sort", "values", "interval", and "timeoffset".

"count" is the maximum number of facet terms; default is 10. There's no upper limit on the number of terms, but higher values degrade performance, especially if the faceted field contains a large number of unique terms. For example, "facet=category,count:5" gets the top five categories in facet results. If the count parameter is less than the number of unique terms, the results may not be accurate. This is due to the way faceting queries are distributed across shards. You can set count to zero or to a value that's greater than or equal to the number of unique values in the facetable field to get an accurate count across all shards. The tradeoff is increased latency.

"sort" can be set to "count", "-count", "value", "-value". Use count to sort descending by count. Use -count to sort ascending by count. Use value to sort ascending by value. Use -value to sort descending by value (for example, "facet=category,count:3,sort:count" gets the top three categories in facet results in descending order by the number of documents with each city name). If the top three categories are Budget, Motel, and Luxury, and Budget has 5 hits, Motel has 6, and Luxury has 4, then the buckets are in the order Motel, Budget, Luxury. For -value, "facet=rating,sort:-value" produces buckets for all possible ratings, in descending order by value (for example, if the ratings are from 1 to 5, the buckets are ordered 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, irrespective of how many documents match each rating).

"values" can set to pipe-delimited numeric or Edm.DateTimeOffset values specifying a dynamic set of facet entry values (for example, "facet=baseRate,values:10 | 20" produces three buckets: one for base rate 0 up to but not including 10, one for 10 up to but not including 20, and one for 20 and higher). A string "facet=lastRenovationDate,values:2010-02-01T00:00:00Z" produces two buckets: one for hotels renovated before February 2010, and one for hotels renovated February 1, 2010 or later. The values must be listed in sequential, ascending order to get the expected results.

"interval" is an integer interval greater than 0 for numbers, or minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year for date time values. For example, "facet=baseRate,interval:100" produces buckets based on base rate ranges of size 100. If base rates are all between $60 and $600, there will be buckets for 0-100, 100-200, 200-300, 300-400, 400-500, and 500-600. The string "facet=lastRenovationDate,interval:year" produces one bucket for each year when hotels were renovated.

"timeoffset" can be set to ([+-]hh:mm, [+-]hhmm, or [+-]hh). If used, the timeoffset parameter must be combined with the interval option, and only when applied to a field of type Edm.DateTimeOffset. The value specifies the UTC time offset to account for in setting time boundaries. For example: "facet=lastRenovationDate,interval:day,timeoffset:-01:00" uses the day boundary that starts at 01:00:00 UTC (midnight in the target time zone).

count and sort can be combined in the same facet specification, but they can't be combined with interval or values, and interval and values can't be combined together.

Interval facets on date time are computed based on the UTC time if timeoffset isn't specified. For example: for "facet=lastRenovationDate,interval:day", the day boundary starts at 00:00:00 UTC.
$filter string Optional. A structured search expression in standard OData syntax. Only filterable fields can be used in a filter. When calling with POST, this parameter is named filter instead of $filter. See OData Expression Syntax for Azure AI Search for details on the subset of the OData expression grammar that Azure AI Search supports.
highlight string Optional. A set of comma-separated field names used for hit highlights. Only searchable fields can be used for hit highlighting. By default, Azure AI Search returns up to 5 highlights per field. The limit is configurable per field by appending "-<max # of highlights>" following the field name. For example, "highlight=title-3,description-10" returns up to 3 highlighted hits from the title field and up to 10 hits from the description field. The maximum number of highlights must be an integer between 1 and 1000 inclusive.
highlightPostTag string Optional. Defaults to "</em>". A string tag that appends to the highlighted term.. Must be set with highlightPreTag. Reserved characters in URL must be percent-encoded (for example, %23 instead of #).
highlightPreTag string Optional. Defaults to "</em>". A string tag that prepends to the highlighted term. Must be set with highlightPostTag. Reserved characters in URL must be percent-encoded (for example, %23 instead of #).
minimumCoverage integer Optional. Valid values are a number between 0 and 100, indicating the percentage of the index that must be available to service the query before it can be reported as a success. Defaults to "100".

One hundred percent coverage means that all shards responded to the request (neither service health issues nor maintenance activities reduced coverage). Under the default setting, less than full coverage returns HTTP status code 503.

Lowering minimumCoverage can be useful if 503 errors are occurring and you want to increase the probability of query success, especially for services that are configured for one replica. If you set minimumCoverage and Search succeeds, it returns HTTP 200 and include a @search.coverage value in the response indicating the percentage of the index that was included in the query. In this scenario, not all matching documents are guaranteed to be present in the search results, but if search availability is more important than recall, then reducing coverage can be a viable mitigation strategy.
$orderby string Optional. A list of comma-separated expressions to sort the results by. When called with POST, this parameter is named orderby instead of $orderby. Each expression can be either a field name or a call to the geo.distance() function. Each expression can be followed by "asc" to indicate ascending, and "desc" to indicate descending. If there are null values in the sort field, nulls appear first in ascending order and last in descending order. The default is ascending order. Ties will be broken by the match scores of documents. If no $orderby is specified, the default sort order is descending by document match score. There's a limit of 32 clauses for $orderby.
queryType string Optional. Valid values are "simple" or "full". Defaults to "simple".

"simple" interprets query strings using the simple query syntax that allows for symbols such as +, * and "". Queries are evaluated across all searchable fields (or fields indicated in searchFields) in each document by default.

"full" interprets query strings using the full Lucene query syntax which allows field-specific and weighted searches. Range search in the Lucene query language isn't supported in favor of $filter, which offers similar functionality.
scoringParameter string Optional. Indicates the values for each parameter defined in a scoring function (such as referencePointParameter) using the format "name-value1,value2,..." When called with POST, this parameter is named scoringParameters instead of scoringParameter. Also, you specify it as a JSON array of strings where each string is a separate name-values pair.

For scoring profiles that include a function, separate the function from its input list with a - character. For example, a function called "mylocation" would be "&scoringParameter=mylocation--122.2,44.8". The first dash separates the function name from the value list, while the second dash is part of the first value (longitude in this example).

For scoring parameters such as for tag boosting that can contain commas, you can escape any such values in the list using single quotes. If the values themselves contain single quotes, you can escape them by doubling. Suppose you have a tag boosting parameter called "mytag" and you want to boost on the tag values "Hello, O'Brien" and "Smith", the query string option would then be "&scoringParameter=mytag-'Hello, O''Brien',Smith". Quotes are only required for values that contain commas.
scoringProfile string Optional. The name of a scoring profile to evaluate match scores for matching documents in order to sort the results.
scoringStatistics string Optional. Valid values are "local" or "global". Defaults to "local". Specify whether to calculate scoring statistics, such as document frequency, globally (across all shards) for more consistent scoring, or locally (on the current shard) for lower latency. See Scoring Statistics in Azure AI Search. Scoring statistics will always be calculated locally for terms that use fuzzy search ('~').
search string Optional. The text to search for. All searchable fields are searched by default unless searchFields is specified. In the index, text in a searchable field is tokenized, so multiple terms can be separated by white space (for example: 'search=hello world'). To match any term, use * (this can be useful for boolean filter queries). Omitting this parameter has the same effect as setting it to *. See Simple query syntax for specifics on the search syntax.

Results can sometimes be surprising when querying over searchable fields. The tokenizer includes logic to handle cases common to English text like apostrophes, commas in numbers, and so forth. For example, 'search=123,456' will match a single term '123,456' rather than the individual terms '123' and '456', since commas are used as thousand-separators for large numbers in English. For this reason, we recommend using white space rather than punctuation to separate terms in the search parameter.
searchMode string Optional. Valid values are "any" or "all" Defaults to "any". Specifies whether any or all of the search terms must be matched in order to count the document as a match.
searchFields string Optional. The list of comma-separated field names to search for the specified text. Target fields must be marked as searchable in the index schema.
$select string Optional. A list of comma-separated fields to include in the result set. Only fields marked as retrievable can be included in this clause. If unspecified or set to *, all fields marked as retrievable in the schema are included in the projection. When called with POST, this parameter is named select instead of $select.
sessionId string Optional. Using sessionId help improve relevance score consistency for search services with multiple replicas. In multi-replica configurations, there can be slight differences between relevance scores of individual documents for the same query. When a session ID is provided, the service makes best-effort to route a given request to the same replica for that session. Be wary that reusing the same session ID values repeatedly can interfere with load balancing of the requests across replicas and adversely affect the performance of the search service. The value used as sessionId can't start with a '_' character. If a service doesn't have any replicas, this parameter has no effect on performance or score consistency.
$skip integer Optional. The number of search results to skip. When called with POST, this parameter is named skip instead of $skip. This value can't be greater than 100,000. If you need to scan documents in sequence, but can't use $skip due to this limitation, consider using $orderby on a field that has unique values for every document in the index (like the document key, for example) and $filter with a range query instead.
$top integer Optional. The number of search results to retrieve. This defaults to 50. When called with POST, this parameter is named top instead of $top. If you specify a value greater than 1000 and there are more than 1000 results, only the first 1000 results will be returned, along with a link to the next page of results (see @odata.nextLink in the example below).

Azure AI Search uses server-side paging to prevent queries from retrieving too many documents at once. The default page size is 50, while the maximum page size is 1000. This means that by default Search Documents returns at most 50 results if you don't specify $top. If there are more than 50 results, the response includes information to retrieve the next page of at most 50 results (see "@odata.nextLink" and "@search.nextPageParameters" in the Examples below. Similarly, if you specify a value greater than 1000 for $top and there are more than 1000 results, only the first 1000 results are returned, along with information to retrieve the next page of at most 1000 results.

Examples

You can find more examples in OData Expression Syntax for Azure AI Search.

  1. Search the Index sorted descending by date:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$orderby=LastRenovationDate desc&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "*",  
          "orderby": "LastRenovationDate desc"
        }  
    
  2. In a faceted search, search the index and retrieve facets for categories, ratings, tags, and items with baseRate in specific ranges.

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&facet=Category&facet=Rating&facet=Tags&facet=Rooms/BaseRate,values:80|150|220&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "test",  
          "facets": [ "Category", "Rating", "Tags", "Rooms/BaseRate,values:80|150|220" ]  
        }  
    

    Notice the last facet is on a subfield. Facets count the parent document (Hotels) and not intermediate subdocuments (Rooms), so the response determines the number of hotels that have any rooms in each price bucket.

  3. Using a filter, narrow down the previous faceted query result after the user selects Rating 3 and category "Motel".

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&facet=tags&facet=Rooms/BaseRate,values:80|150|220&$filter=Rating eq 3 and Category eq 'Motel'&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "test",  
          "facets": [ "tags", "Rooms/BaseRate,values:80|150|220" ],  
          "filter": "Rating eq 3 and Category eq 'Motel'"  
        }  
    
  4. In a faceted search, set an upper limit on unique terms returned in a query. The default is 10, but you can increase or decrease this value using the count parameter on the facet attribute. This example returns facets for city, limited to 5.

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&facet=Address/City,count:5&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "test",  
          "facets": [ "Address/City,count:5" ]  
        }  
    
  5. Search the Index within specific fields (for example, a language field):

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=hôtel&searchFields=Description_fr&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "hôtel",  
          "searchFields": "Description_fr"
        }  
    
  6. Search the Index across multiple fields. For example, you can store and query searchable fields in multiple languages, all within the same index. If English and French descriptions coexist in the same document, you can return any or all in the query results:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=hotel&searchFields=Description,Description_fr&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "hotel",  
          "searchFields": "Description, Description_fr"
        }  
    

    You can only query index at a time. Don't create multiple indexes for each language unless you plan to query one at a time.

  7. Paging - Get the first page of items (page size is 10):

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$skip=0&$top=10&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "*",  
          "skip": 0,  
          "top": 10  
        }  
    
  8. Paging - Get the second page of items (page size is 10):

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$skip=10&$top=10&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "*",  
          "skip": 10,  
          "top": 10  
        }  
    
  9. Retrieve a specific set of fields:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=*&$select=HotelName,Description&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "*",  
          "select": "HotelName, Description"
        }  
    
  10. Retrieve documents matching a specific filter expression:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?$filter=(Rooms/BaseRate ge 60 and Rooms/BaseRate lt 300) or HotelName eq 'Fancy Stay'&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "filter": "(Rooms/BaseRate ge 60 and Rooms/BaseRate lt 300) or HotelName eq 'Fancy Stay'"  
        }  
    
  11. Search the index and return fragments with hit highlights:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=something&highlight=Description&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "something",  
          "highlight": "Description"  
        }  
    
  12. Search the index and return documents sorted from closer to farther away from a reference location:

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=something&$orderby=geo.distance(Location, geography'POINT(-122.12315 47.88121)')&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "something",  
          "orderby": "geo.distance(Location, geography'POINT(-122.12315 47.88121)')"
        }  
    
  13. Search the index assuming there's a scoring profile called "geo" with two distance scoring functions, one defining a parameter called "currentLocation" and one defining a parameter called "lastLocation". In the following example, "currentLocation" has a delimiter of a single dash (-). It's followed by longitude and latitude coordinates, where longitude is a negative value.

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=something&scoringProfile=geo&scoringParameter=currentLocation--122.123,44.77233&scoringParameter=lastLocation--121.499,44.2113&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "something",  
          "scoringProfile": "geo",  
          "scoringParameters": [ "currentLocation--122.123,44.77233", "lastLocation--121.499,44.2113" ]  
        }  
    
  14. Find documents in the index using simple query syntax. This query returns hotels where searchable fields contain the terms "comfort" and "location" but not "motel":

    Get /indexes/hotels/docs?search=comfort +location –motel&searchMode=all&api-version=22020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "comfort +location -motel",  
          "searchMode": "all"  
        }  
    

    Tip

    The use of searchMode=all overrides the default of searchMode=any, ensuring that -motel means "AND NOT" instead of "OR NOT". Without searchMode=all, you get "OR NOT" which expands rather than restricts search results, and this can be counter-intuitive to some users.

  15. Find documents in the index using Lucene query syntax). This query returns hotels where the category field contains the term "budget" and all searchable fields containing the phrase "recently renovated". Documents containing the phrase "recently renovated" are ranked higher as a result of the term boost value (3)

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=Category:budget AND \"recently renovated\"^3&searchMode=all&api-version=2020-06-30&querytype=full` 
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
         "search": "Category:budget AND \"recently renovated\"^3",  
          "queryType": "full",  
          "searchMode": "all"  
    }  
    
  16. Find documents in the index while favoring consistent scoring over lower latency. This query calculates document frequencies across the whole index, and makes a best effort at targeting the same replica for all queries within the same "session", which helps generate a stable and reproducible ranking.

    GET /indexes/hotels/docs?search=hotel&sessionId=mySessionId&scoringStatistics=global&api-version=2020-06-30
    
    POST /indexes/hotels/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30
        {  
          "search": "hotel",  
          "sessionId": "mySessionId",
          "scoringStatistics" :"global"
        }
