Performance
Optimization in
Azure AI Search
Azure AI Search enables developers to build high-
performance search applications. However, as data
grows, ensuring optimal speed and efficiency
becomes challenging. This guide explores advanced
techniques to optimize query performance and
indexing efficiency with real-world examples and
code snippets.
Optimizing Index Configurations for Faster Queries
Choose the Right Field Types
Selecting the correct field types reduces storage overhead and improves query performance.
• Use Edm.String for text fields.
• Use Edm.Int32 or Edm.Double for numerical
data.
• Set fields as searchable, filterable, or
sortable based on query needs.
Optimize Index Size
• Avoid excessive filterable or sortable fields.
• Use facetable fields only where necessary.
• Remove unused fields to minimize index size.
• Use $filter to refine queries and reduce dataset size.
• Filter fields should be indexed as filterable for better efficiency.
Enhancing Query Performance
Implement Efficient Query Filtering
Optimize Query Execution with $select
Reduce payload size by selecting only required fields.
Improve Scoring Profiles
Enhance relevance ranking with custom scoring
profiles.
• Boost recent products with higher
relevance.
• Adjust boost values based on user search
intent.
Caching for Faster Search Results
Enable Azure Front Door or Azure CDN for Caching
Caching helps reduce query latency and improves response times by storing frequently accessed
data.
• Use Azure Front Door or Azure CDN to cache
search responses closer to users.
• Reduces repeated queries to Azure AI Search,
improving performance.
Leverage Application-Level Caching
• Use Redis Cache or Azure Cache for Redis to
store frequent queries.
• Implement a TTL (Time-to-Live) strategy to
refresh stale data.
• Use Sliding Expiration to extend cache lifetime
when frequently accessed.
• Retrieves results from Redis if available;
otherwise, fetches from Azure AI Search and
caches them.
Scaling Azure AI Search for Large Datasets
Choosing the Right Service Tier
• Basic & Standard – Suitable for small to medium datasets.
• Standard 3 & Storage Optimized – Best for high-volume queries.
Managing Replicas and Partitions
• Increase Replicas – Enhances query throughput.
• Increase Partitions – Improves index storage capacity.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting Performance Issues
Using Azure Monitor and Logs
Enable diagnostic logs to track query performance.
• Use Azure Metrics Explorer to track query
duration.
• Identify slow queries and optimize filters
and indexes.
Analyzing High-Latency Queries
Improving Indexing Performance
Use Bulk Indexing for Faster Data Ingestion
• Use batch uploads for better performance.
• Avoid sending single document updates frequently.
• Batch documents in chunks of 1,000 for optimal speed.
Implement Incremental Updates
Reduce unnecessary re-indexing with partial updates.
• Only update changed fields instead of reindexing entire documents.
• Azure Metrics Explorer – Monitor query
latency and indexing speed.
• Azure Cognitive Search REST API –
Automate search configurations.
• Application Insights – Identify performance
bottlenecks.
Tools and Resources for Optimization
Conclusion
Optimizing Azure AI Search ensures faster query execution, efficient indexing, and scalable
performance. Implement these strategies to improve search relevance and user experience.
