Exam AZ-204 topic 1 question 28 discussion

Azure search was in AZ-203, but it's not in the AZ-204 list of measured skills. Is this even still relevant?

The solution D - Filter is correct. The thing is that you filter the queried information by a price range and distance to airport. The QueryType is about the syntax of what you can pass into the search. Read the explanations in the docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.search.models.searchparameters?view=azure-dotnet

• 🅰️ SearchMode: Chooses between matching any or all keywords — not for regex. • 🅱️ QueryType: Enables advanced search features like regex when set to "full". ✅ • 🅲 Facets: Groups and counts results — used for filters like "by city." • 🅳 Filter: Applies exact conditions (e.g., price < 100) — not for pattern matching. • ✅ Use QueryType to allow regex in Azure Search.

The Filter property is used to narrow down search results by specifying one or more filter expressions to apply to the search query. A filter expression is a Boolean expression that is used to match specific criteria, such as a specific price range or proximity to an airport.

Azure Search is not part of the AZ-204 - see: https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RE4oZ7B

D. Configure the Filter property of the SearchParameters class. To allow the application to list holiday accommodation venues that fall within a specific price range and are within a specified distance to an airport, you should configure the Filter property of the SearchParameters class in your .NET Core MVC application. The filter property allows you to filter the search results by applying conditions to specific fields in the indexed documents. You can use this property to specify the price range and distance range of the accommodation venues.
