AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions
You are building an Azure AI Search solution to index a collection of technical manuals. Users need to find documents by searching for specific terms and also have the ability to filter by document category. Which feature should you configure in the index to support filtering?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'facetable' with 'filterable' because both are used in search UIs for narrowing results, but faceting only provides aggregation counts for navigation, not the ability to apply server-side OData filters.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the 'filterable' property to true on the category field
Setting the 'filterable' property to true on the category field enables Azure AI Search to apply OData filter expressions (e.g., `$filter=category eq 'Networking'`) during query execution. This allows users to narrow search results by document category without requiring the field to be full-text searchable, which is essential for efficient filtering in a technical manuals index.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set the 'filterable' property to true on the category field
Why this is correct
Filterable fields allow OData filter expressions to be applied in queries.
- ✗
Set the 'facetable' property to true on the category field
Why it's wrong here
Facetable enables faceted navigation but is not the same as direct filtering.
- ✗
Set the 'searchable' property to true on the category field
Why it's wrong here
Searchable enables full-text search on the field, not filtering.
- ✗
Set the 'sortable' property to true on the category field
Why it's wrong here
Sortable enables ordering of results, not filtering.
