Release notes

2025-02-01-Preview

This preview adds support for:

• Upgrading your search service. An upgrade brings select new features without the need to recreate your service. If you created your service before April 2024 in a supported region, use Upgrade Service to get higher storage and vector limits.
• Changing your pricing tier. Currently, you can only move up between Basic and Standard (S1, S2, and S3) tiers, such as going from Basic to S1. Switching to a higher tier increases the cost of running your service. For more information, see the pricing page. Use the sku property in Update Service to specify the higher tier.

2024-06-01-Preview

This preview adds support for:

• Network Security Perimeter Configurations. For more information, see Add a search service to a network security perimeter.
• NetworkRuleSet.Bypass now has a new value called AzureServices. You can bypass the network IP rules if requests originate from a trusted service on Azure.
• Renaming the SearchService.ProvisioningState to upper case (for example, from succeeded to Succeeded).

2024-03-01-Preview

This preview adds APIs for network security perimeter, which isn't yet available.

2023-11-01

This generally available version adds the ability to enable or disable semantic ranking in Create or Update Service and Update Service.

2022-09-01

This generally available version adds authentication properties to Create or Update Service and Update Service.

The ability to enable or disable role-based access control is generally available in this release.

2021-04-01-Preview

This preview API has all of the features of the previous preview API, and adds the following functionality:

• Preview support for role-based access control. Although support for this task is generally available in 2022-09-01, you can also enable or disable it using this preview API version.

• Enable or disable semantic search. Semantic search is a premium feature that runs on Standard tier services. In this preview management REST API, use Create or Update Services to disable semantic search at the service level to prohibit any query that invokes semantic ranking. You can also enable this feature on search services on the free tier for a small number of free queries.

• Enforce encryption of data plane resources via Customer Managed Keys (CMK). Use Create or Update Services to configure this option. Existing search services that don't meet this requirement are marked as noncompliant.

• Disable workloads that push data from Azure AI Search to external resources. Use Create or Update Services to set properties.disabledDataExfiltrationOptions to "All" or null (default). Disabling all workloads turns off the following capabilities:

  • Power query connectors
  • Debug sessions
  • Enrichment cache
  • Knowledge stores, and Skillsets generally because they support custom skills that integrate with external code.

2020-08-01-Preview

This preview API is equivalent to the generally available version 2020-08-01, and adds the following functionality:

• Added sharedPrivateLinkResources support for two new resource types. New groupId values include mysqlServer (Azure database for MySQL) and sites (Azure Functions/app services).

2020-08-01

This generally available version added Shared Private Link Resources support for all outbound-accessed resources except those noted in the preview version.

2020-03-13

This generally available version added support for Private Endpoint Connections through Azure Private Link, and network IP rules for new services.

2019-10-01-Preview

This is the first preview version. There were no preview features introduced in this list. This preview is functionally equivalent to 2020-03-13. It remains available. Any script or code that calls that version will work, but we recommend customers to update to using a more recent API version (either a Generally available or preview API version) to get the same results.

2015-08-19

This is the initial release of the Management REST API. It provided APIs for service creation and deletion, provisioning replicas and partitions, and managing API keys.
