Preview: Customize lexical analyzers in Azure Search
Published date: January 21, 2016
By customizing analyzers in Azure Search, you can take full control over the process of breaking your documents into searchable terms.This highly requested feature is now enabled for everyone indexing documents that contain more than only natural language, for example: source code, product serial numbers, or phone numbers. Custom analyzers support the following and more:
- Phonetic search (matching based on how a word sounds, not how it’s spelled)
- Fast prefix and suffix queries
- Disable lexical analysis on searchable fields completely
