Core Components of Azure AI Search
Azure AI Search is powered by three core components: Index, Data Sources, and Indexers. The Index is the heart of search, storing structured fields for fast retrieval. Data Sources supply the raw content, while Indexers act as the pipeline, moving and enriching data into the index. Together, they form the foundation of a scalable, AI-driven search system that powers everything from enterprise knowledge bases to intelligent chatbots.
