Do you have an idea or suggestion based on your experience with Azure?
Allow changing of attributes of a field once data has already been indexed
Common attributes users want to change are type (like int to string), doc-values, stored, indexed etc.
Looking for similar functionality to https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/query-re-ranking.html
Provide optimistic locking for out-of-order updates
Looking for functionality similar to how Solr does it: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/updating-parts-of-documents.html

Modelling Complex Types in Indexes
When modelling an index the data types are restrictive. There are simple types and collections. There is nothing that allows us to model complex types e.g. ... "name": { "first": "Ericka", "last": "Banks" },...... The oData spec allows for complex types http://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-2-0/overview/

Allow to upgrade the pricing tier
Everywhere in the portal, we can increase/decrease the pricing tier based on our needs. With the introduction of Azure Search Basic, we need a way to upgrade to the next level (Standard) when we are close to reach the service limits. The only way today to go around this is to bring the index down and create another one.

Provide a local emulator or increase the number of indexes on the free tier for development use
It sucks that if I have more than 3 indexes I have to create a paid tier for development. We do not need performance or size. Just more index to simulate the production environment which contains more indexes.

Support schema changes with automated reindexing
Azure Search should support safe schema changes, such as deletion of fields, or maybe even safe field type changes (e.g., int -> string, or string -> string collection)
Storage Optimized tier in the Basic tier pricing range (L0)
For a small business with low traffic and data just over the 2GB limit of the Basic tier it´s really hard to justify to upgrade to standard tier for 3.3x more cost. The performance and scaling for Basic tier is more the enough but the 2GB limit is just to low. It would be nice if you could introduce storage optimized layer(L0) for the lower end of the price range where performance and scaling is not important but the storage amount is more than 2GB.
MicrosoftLanguageStemmingTokenizer cannot process word 'F#' correctly
'F#' is a well-known programming language, but if you tokenize sentence contains 'F#' with "en.microsoft" analyzer, it will be omitted. However, 'C#' works fine and does not have such issue.
Extract text in a readable manner for pages using landscape orientation in PDF
There is a known issue with PDFs that display certain pages with text oriented in a vertical manner. The issue is not that the text is not extracted, but rather that it is extracted in an unreadable manner since current extraction methods expect text to be horizontal. Unfortunately there is not currently a work around within Azure Search. We would need to inspect thousands of documents and rotate the vertical/landscape pages of the PDF manually before it can work as expected.
Highlight search text on blob documents
search API should return document that should highlight search text inside the document. So that when i download view the document it should highlight search terms/text in documents like pdf, excel,word and etc. same like JFK it will do only for image but good to have document highlighting
