What Python package is required for this skill?

This skill utilizes the 'azure-search-documents' package, which is the official Microsoft SDK for interacting with Azure AI Search services.

Does this skill support vector search and embeddings?

Yes, it provides detailed implementations for vector search, including HNSW algorithm configuration, vector field indexing, and integration with embedding models.

How does it handle large document uploads?

The skill includes patterns for using the SearchIndexingBufferedSender, which provides automatic batching and retry logic for high-efficiency document ingestion.

What is the recommended authentication method?

While it supports API keys, the skill recommends using DefaultAzureCredential from the azure-identity library for secure, token-based authentication via Microsoft Entra ID.

Can I use this skill to build RAG systems?

Absolutely. This skill is specifically designed to help developers set up the retrieval layer of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using Azure's cloud-scale search infrastructure.
