Native full-text and hybrid search capabilities in Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL are now generally available.You can now seamlessly build advanced search and GenAI scenarios without relying on external search services.
Key capabilities include:
Full-text search. Efficiently perform powerful text searches directly within your Azure Cosmos DB accounts. Use advanced text analytics such as tokenization and stemming for precise, relevant results.
BM25 text ranking.Enhance search accuracy with BM25 ranking, a proven algorithm that considers term frequency, document length, term significance, and other factors to surface the most relevant documents from text searches.
Hybrid search. Achieve superior relevancy and accuracy by combining vector search with BM25-based text ranking. Utilizing Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), hybrid search merges and ranks search results to deliver highly contextual and precise outcomes.
With these integrated search capabilities, you can use Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL to efficiently create sophisticated applications and GenAI solutions, reducing complexity and costs compared to using external search services.
