Hello @Mansi Gusain,

Greetings!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out! I hope you are doing well.

Based on this Microsoft documentation, the Azure AI Search REST URL should be structured as follows:

https://<your-search-service-name>.search.windows.net/indexes/searchindex-confluence-uxr/docs/search?api-version=2024-07-01

The request method should be set to POST and Next, add the required headers as shown below:

In Postman, navigate to the Body section, select "raw" and "JSON", and then add your search index query.

For example, you can use the following queries:

{

  "search": "*",

  "top": 10,

  "select": "id,content"

}

(or)

{

"search": "*",

"top": 1,

"select": "HotelId,HotelName"

}
