Kanio Dimitrov gave a presentation on Azure Search at the Tokyo Azure Meetup. Azure Search provides search-as-a-service capabilities including keyword search, suggestions, geo-spatial search, and custom ranking across 56 languages. It allows querying data from Azure SQL, DocumentDB, and Blob Storage. Developers can access Azure Search through SDKs, REST APIs, and by integrating it with web and mobile applications.
