image of azure cognitive search where there are two indexes for few project MARKED IN RED and no extra index for other project

enter image description here

some recources have testkb index auto created and some don't. Why there is no testkb index for all the resources in a search service? Is there a way to avoid testkb index created for all the resources in a search service? What is the reason for the testkb index created automatically?

Gone through the microsoft doc on indexes, where I couldn't find solution for my questions.

For this some recources have testkb index auto created and some don't...

Yes, as you said sometimes it's auto created. For testing purpose i created 3 cognitive search services as shown in below images.

  • As there is no particular document about testkb so tried from my end by taking different pricing tiers and different loaction to check is they causing testkb auto creation.
  • Here i am taking Basic and central us as you can see there is no testkb. enter image description here
  • Then in standard with different loaction created another cognitive search but still there is no testkb auto created. enter image description here
  • Finally created other cognitive as Basic tier and here testkb is auto created when i created some other indexes which contains stoarge. enter image description here From all these one thing is clear it's not depending pricing tier and loaction.
  • As the search results do not clearly address why certain resources in a search service have a testkb index automatically built while others do not, or how to stop the testkb index from being created for all resources in a search service. AFAIK The testkb index, however, seems to be unique to particular platforms or services, like Azure Search.

For this Is there a way to avoid testkb index created for all the resources in a search service?

  • AFAIK there is a no such direct way to avoid this but if you don't want you can delete that. Indexes are typically used to accelerate and optimise data retrieval processes on a database or search service. Depending on the service or platform being utilised, the precise reasons why the testkb index is automatically built may vary.

Note: Below are the only documents available regarding testkb.

  • But after deleting we can restore that created testkb as per this MS document.
  • Refer these MS document1 and document2 and SO questions which have some inforamtion about testkb it may helps.
