Azure Cognitive Search query specific data source - azure-cognitive-search

Question

I have a Azure Cognitive Search set up with two DataSources, two Indexers indexing those DataSources and one Index.
I'd like to be able to able to query/filter by DataSource. Is that possible?

Answer 1

This is certainly possible. You'd just need to find a way to get a field in the index that contains the name of the data source. The best way to do this depends on the data source you're using--for example, if you're using a SQL data source, you might just be able to edit the query to return the value whereas that wouldn't work for blob storage.
Another option that would work for all data sources would be to include a skillset with a conditional skill which you can use to set a default value for a field.

Answer 2

Off of #Derek Legenzoff serve this is how I did it...
Add all your datasources
Create skillsets for each one data source with the following skill
{
"#odata.type": "#Microsoft.Skills.Util.ConditionalSkill",
"name": "#1",
"description": "",
"context": "/document",
"inputs": [
{
"name": "condition",
"source": "= true"
},
{
"name": "whenTrue",
"source": "= 'Production'" //name of your environment
},
{
"name": "whenFalse",
"source": "= ''"
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"name": "output",
"targetName": "Env"
}
]
}
Create single index for your data model and add a Env field, and it's filterable and queriable
Create indexers for each one of your data sources that point to the index from step 3 and datasource from step 1
IMPORTANT: make sure you indexers have the following code in the defnition.
"outputFieldMappings": [
{
"sourceFieldName": "/document/Env",
"targetFieldName": "Env"
}
],
This will connect the product of the skill to the index
