AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions
Your team is using Azure AI Search to index a large collection of technical manuals. Users report that searches for 'disk failure' do not return relevant results because the manuals use terms like 'hard drive crash'. Which feature should you implement to improve recall?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse semantic search (which improves ranking via language models) with synonym expansion (which directly addresses vocabulary mismatch by broadening the query), leading them to choose option C instead of D.
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
✓
Add a synonym map to the index
A synonym map in Azure AI Search allows you to define equivalent terms (e.g., 'disk failure' = 'hard drive crash') so that queries automatically expand to include synonyms. This directly addresses the vocabulary mismatch between user queries and indexed content, improving recall without requiring changes to the documents or queries.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Apply a filter
Why it's wrong here
Filters restrict results, not expand them.
- ✗
Configure a scoring profile
Why it's wrong here
Scoring profiles affect ranking, not query expansion.
- ✗
Enable semantic search
Why it's wrong here
Semantic search re-ranks results but does not handle synonyms.
- ✓
Add a synonym map to the index
Why this is correct
Synonyms map equivalent terms to improve recall.
