Adding a scoring profile with the .NET client

Question

I can't find how to use the .NET Client for Azure search to add a scoring profile. Yes, I know there's a doc to do it using the REST API Thanks.

Answer 1

The scoring profiles have to be created at the same time as the index:

private async Task CreateIndexAsync<T>(string index) where T : class
{
    var definition = new Index()
    {
       Name = index,
       Fields = FieldBuilder.BuildForType<T>(),
       ScoringProfiles = new List<ScoringProfile>
       {
           //your scoring profiles here
       }
   };

   if (!_adminServiceClient.Indexes.Exists(index))
   {
       await _adminServiceClient.Indexes.CreateAsync(definition);
   }

 }

If you are using v11 of Azure search library for .Net you can add scoring profile to the search index like this:

var fieldBuilder = new FieldBuilder();
var searchFields = fieldBuilder.Build(typeof(MyType));
var definition = new SearchIndex(name: "MyIndexName", searchFields);

definition.ScoringProfiles.Add(new ScoringProfile(name: "default")
{
  // Your scoring profile definition
}

await _searchIndexClient.CreateIndexAsync(definition);
