Productivity tools and accelerators - Azure AI Search

Productivity tools are built by engineers at Microsoft, but aren't part of the Azure AI Search service and aren't under Service Level Agreement (SLA). These tools are provided as source code that you can download, modify, and build to create an app that helps you develop or maintain a search solution.

Tools

Tool name	Description	Source code
Azure AI Search Lab	Learning and experimentation lab to try out AI-enabled search scenarios in Azure. It provides a web application front-end which uses Azure AI Search and Azure OpenAI to execute searches with a variety of options - ranging from simple keyword search, to semantic ranking, vector and hybrid search, and using generative AI to answer search queries.	https://github.com/jelledruyts/azure-ai-search-lab
Back up and Restore (C#)	Download the retrievable fields of an index to your local device and then upload the index and its content to a new search service.	https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-dotnet-utilities/blob/main/index-backup-restore
Back up and Restore (Python)	Download the retrievable fields of an index to your local device and then upload the index and its content to a new search service.	https://github.com/Azure/azure-search-vector-samples/tree/main/demo-python/code/index-backup-restore
Performance testing solution	This solution helps you load test Azure AI Search. It uses Apache JMeter as an open source load and performance testing tool and Terraform to dynamically provision and destroy the required infrastructure on Azure.	https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-performance-testing
Visual Studio Code extension	Although the extension is no longer available in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, the code is open source. You can clone and modify the tool for your own use.	https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurecognitivesearch
