Your index can be filled with as many fields as you want. Adding a suggester is optional but required if you want to use live search (suggestions). ``` $index = new BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index('name of your index'); $index->addField(new BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index\Field('field name 1', BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index\Field::TYPE_STRING, true)) ->addField(new BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index\Field('field name 2', BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index\Field::TYPE_STRING)) ->addSuggesters(new BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index\Suggest('livesearch', ['field name(s)'])); $azuresearch->createIndex($index); ``` ### Delete a index [](#delete-a-index) Deletes the complete index from Azure. Deleting a index also deletes the documents stored in the index. ``` $azuresearch->deleteIndex('name of the index to delete'); ``` ### Upload documents [](#upload-documents) After you have created a index, you are ready to fill the index with your data. Maximum array size per request (1000). ``` $data['value'][] = [ '@search.action' => BenjaminHirsch\Azure\Search\Index::ACTION_UPLOAD, 'field name 1' => , 'field name 2' => ]; $azuresearch->uploadToIndex('name of your index', $data); ``` ### Live search (suggestions) [](#live-search-suggestions) ``` $azuresearch->suggestions('name of your index', 'your term', 'livesearch') ``` ### Search documents [](#search-documents) ``` $azuresearch->search('name of your index', 'your term'); ``` ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance11 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
