11.5.0-beta.5 (2023-10-09)

Features Added

• Added support for VectorSearch.Vectorizers, which contains configuration options for vectorizing text vector queries, and VectorSearch.Profiles, which define combinations of configurations to use with vector search.
• Added the VectorSearchAlgorithmConfiguration base type, containing configuration options specific to the algorithm used during indexing and/or querying. Derived classes include ExhaustiveKnnVectorSearchAlgorithmConfiguration and HnswVectorSearchAlgorithmConfiguration.
• Added the SearchOptions.VectorQueries base type, which is used for the query parameters for vector and hybrid search queries. Derived classes include VectorizableTextQuery and RawVectorQuery. With RawVectorQuery, users can pass raw vector values for vector search, while VectorizableTextQuery allows the passing of text values to be vectorized for vector search.
• Added SearchOptions.VectorFilterMode, determining whether filters are applied before or after vector search is executed.
• Added SearchOptions.SemanticQuery, which enables the setting of a dedicated search query for semantic reranking, semantic captions, and semantic answers.
• Added support for AzureOpenAIEmbeddingSkill, which enables the generation of vector embeddings for given text inputs using the Azure Open AI service.
• Added SearchIndexStatistics.VectorIndexSize, which reports the amount of memory consumed by vectors in the index.
• Added KnowledgeStore.Parameters, which defines a dictionary of knowledge store-specific configuration properties.
• Added SearchIndexerSkillset.IndexProjections, which specifies additional projections to secondary search indexes.

Breaking Changes

• In SearchOptions, the IList<SearchQueryVector> Vectors property has been removed in favor of the abstract base type IList<VectorQuery> VectorQueries.
• In SearchField, the vectorSearchConfiguration property has been removed in favor of the new VectorSearchProfile property.
• In VectorSearch, AlgorithmConfigurations has been renamed to Algorithms.
