Is there a way to increase the hard limit for Bing Custom Search?

Question

Hey all,

I'm aware that Bing Custom Search in Azure currently seems to have a limit of 400 domains, but i was wondering if there was a way to increase this limit by, for example, switching subscriptions?
I'm willing to pay more to increase this limit but I don't seem to be able to find any way of doing this, so i have assumed that this may not be possible.

I can't see how this makes sense though. If I am willing to pay more and/or upgrade my subscription in order to get more functionality out of the product, why would Microsoft reduce my ability to do this?

Thanks so much in advance to anyone who has an answer to this.

Answer 1

@MalcolmPortelli-9921 Currently based on the pricing tiers there is no option to upgrade this but you can raise a subscription and service limits issue from Azure portal under the support requests. This request will be reviewed by our team and they will advise if they can increase the limit for your resource/subscription based on your use case.

Thanks @romungi-MSFT .

I have raised the request and am awaiting feedback.

Hopefully a solution is provided as I've been using the service for a few months now and I would hate to have to move to a different provider due to this limit, as the service itself has been great over all.

Support were not able to assist with this as they stated that this was somehow an infrastructure issue and the limit could not be increased for some reason or another.

That being said, they are working on providing me with possible workarounds, though I am not confident that there will be any viable and workable solution to solve the issue.

Might need to switch my search function to another provider and it's a pity as this provide was pretty great :(
