# Azure AI Search SDK for Python

Full-text, vector, and hybrid search with AI enrichment capabilities.

## When to Use
- This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

## Core Workflow
1. Confirm the request matches this skill's trigger, scope, and risk profile.
2. Use the topic map to identify the relevant pattern, checklist, or example before writing detailed guidance or code.
3. Load `references/full-guidance.md` when implementation details, examples, anti-patterns, validation checks, or edge cases are needed.
4. Apply only the relevant guidance instead of loading or repeating the entire reference by default.
5. Verify the result against any validation checks, limitations, security notes, or platform constraints in the reference.

## Topic Map
- Installation
- Environment Variables
- Authentication
- API Key
- Entra ID (Recommended)
- Client Types
- Create Index with Vector Field
- Upload Documents
- Keyword Search
- Vector Search
- Hybrid Search (Vector + Keyword)
- Semantic Ranking
- Filters
- Facets
- Autocomplete & Suggest
- Indexer with Skillset
- Best Practices
- Reference Files

## Reference Map
- `references/full-guidance.md` preserves the complete original guidance, including examples and detailed edge cases.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

## Progressive Loading
Keep this `SKILL.md` as the compact routing and workflow entrypoint. Load the reference file only when the user task requires the deeper implementation material.
