Azure AI Search — Lightweight SPA

This is a minimal single-page application demo that lets you configure Azure AI Search connection values and run simple searches against an index.

Features

• Sliding configuration panel (stores values in localStorage)
• Index selector with pre-configured options
• Search box and results list
• Uses @azure/search-documents SDK (browser) — demo fallback to mock results when API key is missing

Quick start

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Start dev server:

npm run dev

Notes

• This app stores the API key in localStorage for convenience; do NOT use it as-is in production.
• The SDK used is @azure/search-documents; the sample switches to mock results if the API key looks fake or missing. Adjust as needed.

Before publishing

• Verify there are no real API keys, connection strings, SAS tokens, or account keys in any source files.
• Remove or replace any demo values in src/main.js or ai-search-service-setup.rest with placeholders (example: <YOUR_SEARCH_API_KEY>).
• Ensure .gitignore contains node_modules/, .env, and other local-only files.
• Consider using environment variables, a secrets manager, or a secure token exchange for production credentials rather than embedding keys in client code.

Next steps

• Add more robust index discovery via the Search Service REST API
• Add pagination and highlight snippets
• Add secure token exchange for keys
