A retail site's search results must include a short highlighted passage from the best matching product page and a direct answer line above the results. Which Azure AI Search setup delivers this?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C
Captions and answers are produced by semantic ranking. The search service must have semantic ranker enabled, the index needs a semantic configuration that identifies the title and content fields, and the query must request semantic mode with captions and answers. Only then does the response include highlighted passages and a direct answer. Analyzers, indexer schedules, and suggesters do not generate these query-side outputs.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Custom analyzers change how text is tokenized and indexed. They do not produce captions or direct answers at query time.
- B. An indexer schedule controls how often content is loaded into the index. It affects freshness, not how results are returned to a query.
- D. Suggesters power typeahead suggestions from partial input. They do not return highlighted passages or direct answers for full result pages.
