Azure Cognitive Search is a search-as-a-service cloud solution that gives developers APIs and tools for adding a rich search experience over private, heterogeneous content in web, mobile, and enterprise applications.

This VS Code extension makes it easy to manage your search service with the full capabilities of the REST APIs while providing rich intellisense and snippets to make it easier to take advantage of the full range of capabilities. With the extension, you can create and update indexes and other components, add documents, search, and more. Check out the gifs and images below to see the extension in action.
