The out of the box search (Examine Engine) that comes with Umbraco is already very good, but using an AI powered search tool can be even better
Some key features of Azure AI Search that are not available with Examine Engine:
• Indexing from a variety of sources (can be other websites, videos, PDFs, Word Docs)
- AI-empowered vector search and semantic ranking
- Easily implemented type-ahead search
- Natural language queries
- Great scalability options with replicas and partitions
- Type-ahead search and suggestions
- Faceted searching
- Data skillsets to expand and improve the data as it’s indexed
- AI enrichment e.g., image identification, vector searching, semantic ranking, and natural language queries
- Works well with load balanced Umbraco sites
