Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Azure AI Search

Please install this package via pip:

pip install agent-framework-azure-ai-search --pre

Azure AI Search Integration

The Azure AI Search integration provides context providers for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) capabilities with two modes:

  • Semantic Mode: Fast hybrid search (vector + keyword) with semantic ranking
  • Agentic Mode: Multi-hop reasoning using Knowledge Bases for complex queries

Basic Usage Example

See the Azure AI Search context provider examples which demonstrate:

  • Semantic search with hybrid (vector + keyword) queries
  • Agentic mode with Knowledge Bases for complex multi-hop reasoning
  • Environment variable configuration with Settings class
  • API key and managed identity authentication
