Can I create vector-enabled indexes with this skill?

Yes, it includes detailed patterns for configuring SearchIndex objects with HNSW algorithms, vector profiles, and specific embedding dimensions.

How does it handle large-scale document uploads?

It utilizes the SearchIndexingBufferedSender pattern for efficient, automated batching and reliable document ingestion in high-volume environments.

How do I authenticate with Azure AI Search using this skill?

The skill provides patterns for both API Key and Entra ID (via DefaultAzureCredential), with a strong recommendation for Entra ID in production environments.

Does it support hybrid search?

Absolutely. It demonstrates how to combine keyword-based search with vector queries and apply semantic ranking for the best possible relevance.
