## Import Data

10. Click Import data 
11. Data Source to Azure Blob Storage
12. Click an existing connection
13. Select the Storage accounts that you have created
15. Select the container & Next: Add Cognitive skills

16. Import data (may occur problem so recommended to use import and vectorize data)

Note: its under free version so limited Cognitive skills

17. Next: Customize target index

18. Next: Create an indexer
Finally, create the indexer. Indexers provide an automated workflow for transferring documents and content from external data sources to a search service's search index. Here you can schedule the frequency of data pulls and configure various settings for processing the files you search.

2. Go to "Indexes" Section:
In the left-hand menu, click on "Indexes" under your Azure Cognitive Search service.

3. Select the Index:

Note forget to set semantic_configuration_name in your script

## Vector profiles
1. Add profile
2. Create Algorithm (default)
3. Add Vecorizer (note use embedding)

4. Save 
Note: Dont forget to add vector profile in your script
5. click save top left  as well



Skip the following if you use above approach
(Recommended approach )
## Note If you want to add vector search, you need to vectorize the data so Import and vectorize

It will create all required profiles. (index, indexer,vector-profile)

1. Click Import and vectorize data

## CORs setting(optional -> Not required)
Browsers disallow all cross-origin requests, so client-side JavaScript can't call APIs by default. To allow cross-origin queries on your index, enable CORS (cross-origin resource sharing) by setting the corsOptions attribute.


1. Navigate to Your Azure Cognitive Search Service:
Open the Azure Portal and navigate to your Azure Cognitive Search service.

2. Go to "Indexes" Section:
In the left-hand menu, click on "Indexes" under your Azure Cognitive Search service.

3. Select the Index:
Choose the index for which you want to create a semantic configuration.

4. Select CORS
5. From the CORS tab in the index, set Allowed Origin Types to All and click Save.
