  • It is showing term based searching. in a term i can pass upto 32KB. Can i pass complete document for search in a search request? my documents are on average of 250-500KB. – Naveen Katakam May 31 '18 at 14:01
  • Why do you want to pass a complete document to a search request? Usually a search query is relative short phrase or list of terms. Not sure what you are trying to do. – Eugene Shvets May 31 '18 at 14:14
  • I want find similer documents of my document. So i want to pass complete document. – Naveen Katakam May 31 '18 at 14:18
  • Use [more like this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-more-like-this) feature and pass the document id of the reference document. – Eugene Shvets May 31 '18 at 15:38
  • Can you explain how can i pass the document here? I have seen specified link, what is 1002 in "Get /indexes/hotels/docs?moreLikeThis=1002&searchFields=description&api-version=2016-09-01-Preview" – Naveen Katakam May 31 '18 at 18:30
  • It is just a sample document id. In case of blobs, by default the document id will be base-64 encoded value of blob path. Please see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-indexing-azure-blob-storage#how-azure-search-indexes-blobs – Eugene Shvets May 31 '18 at 18:42
  • In general, please take a careful look at the documentation as this will help you with a bunch of your questions – Eugene Shvets May 31 '18 at 18:44
  • Thank you for your info! I have 2 data sources one id blob and another one is SQL Azure database. for blob data source, it is very helpfull. How can perform search for relevent documents for SQL Azure data source? – Naveen Katakam May 31 '18 at 18:46
  • For SQL datasource, you yourself control which column becomes the document key field. – Eugene Shvets May 31 '18 at 19:16
