SearchIndex Class

Represents a search index definition, which describes the fields and search behavior of an index.

All required parameters must be populated in order to send to Azure.

SearchIndex

Constructor

SearchIndex(**kwargs)

Variables

Name	Description
name	str Required. The name of the index.
fields	list[SearchField] Required. The fields of the index.
scoring_profiles	list[ScoringProfile] The scoring profiles for the index.
default_scoring_profile	str The name of the scoring profile to use if none is specified in the query. If this property is not set and no scoring profile is specified in the query, then default scoring (tf-idf) will be used.
cors_options	CorsOptions Options to control Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for the index.
suggesters	list[SearchSuggester] The suggesters for the index.
analyzers	list[LexicalAnalyzer] The analyzers for the index.
tokenizers	list[LexicalTokenizer] The tokenizers for the index.
token_filters	list[TokenFilter] The token filters for the index.
char_filters	list[CharFilter] The character filters for the index.
encryption_key	SearchResourceEncryptionKey A description of an encryption key that you create in Azure Key Vault. This key is used to provide an additional level of encryption-at-rest for your data when you want full assurance that no one, not even Microsoft, can decrypt your data in Azure Cognitive Search. Once you have encrypted your data, it will always remain encrypted. Azure Cognitive Search will ignore attempts to set this property to null. You can change this property as needed if you want to rotate your encryption key; Your data will be unaffected. Encryption with customer-managed keys is not available for free search services, and is only available for paid services created on or after January 1, 2019.
similarity	SimilarityAlgorithm The type of similarity algorithm to be used when scoring and ranking the documents matching a search query. The similarity algorithm can only be defined at index creation time and cannot be modified on existing indexes. If null, the ClassicSimilarity algorithm is used.
semantic_search	SemanticSearch Defines parameters for a search index that influence semantic capabilities.
vector_search	VectorSearch Defines parameters for a search index that influence scoring in a vector space.
e_tag	str The ETag of the index.

Methods

as_dict	Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump. Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter: Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object. The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict. See the three examples in this file: attribute_transformer full_restapi_key_transformer last_restapi_key_transformer If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.
deserialize	Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.
enable_additional_properties_sending
from_dict	Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model. By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)
is_xml_model
serialize	Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model. This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False). If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

as_dict

Return a dict that can be serialized using json.dump.

Advanced usage might optionally use a callback as parameter:

Key is the attribute name used in Python. Attr_desc is a dict of metadata. Currently contains 'type' with the msrest type and 'key' with the RestAPI encoded key. Value is the current value in this object.

The string returned will be used to serialize the key. If the return type is a list, this is considered hierarchical result dict.

See the three examples in this file:

• attribute_transformer

• full_restapi_key_transformer

• last_restapi_key_transformer

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

as_dict(keep_readonly: bool = True, key_transformer: ~typing.Callable[[str, ~typing.Dict[str, ~typing.Any], ~typing.Any], ~typing.Any] = <function attribute_transformer>, **kwargs: ~typing.Any) -> MutableMapping[str, Any]

Parameters

Name	Description
key_transformer	<xref:function> A key transformer function.
keep_readonly	default value: True

Returns

Type	Description
dict	A dict JSON compatible object

deserialize

Parse a str using the RestAPI syntax and return a model.

deserialize(data: Any, content_type: str | None = None) -> ModelType

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	str A str using RestAPI structure. JSON by default.
content_type	str JSON by default, set application/xml if XML. default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
	An instance of this model

Exceptions

Type	Description
DeserializationError if something went wrong

enable_additional_properties_sending

enable_additional_properties_sending() -> None

from_dict

Parse a dict using given key extractor return a model.

By default consider key extractors (rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor, attribute_key_case_insensitive_extractor and last_rest_key_case_insensitive_extractor)

from_dict(data: Any, key_extractors: Callable[[str, Dict[str, Any], Any], Any] | None = None, content_type: str | None = None) -> ModelType

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	dict A dict using RestAPI structure
content_type	str JSON by default, set application/xml if XML. default value: None
key_extractors	default value: None

Returns

Type	Description
	An instance of this model

Exceptions

Type	Description
DeserializationError if something went wrong

is_xml_model

is_xml_model() -> bool

serialize

Return the JSON that would be sent to server from this model.

This is an alias to as_dict(full_restapi_key_transformer, keep_readonly=False).

If you want XML serialization, you can pass the kwargs is_xml=True.

serialize(keep_readonly: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) -> MutableMapping[str, Any]

Parameters

Name	Description
keep_readonly	bool If you want to serialize the readonly attributes default value: False

Returns

Type	Description
dict	A dict JSON compatible object
