Azure AI Search for resource search

Index resources (name, tags, eventually content extracts) into Azure AI Search for ranked, fuzzy, cross-field search.

Why deferred

The only genuinely paid item in the portal-parity program. Postgres covers current volumes, and pg_trgm relevance already bought typo tolerance for free — the cheap 80% of what a search service would buy, at no service spend.

Revisit when

Search quality complaints survive pg_trgm (relevance, typo tolerance, cross-field matching over tags/content), or resource counts make Postgres ilike measurably slow.

Cheaper interim

Prefix-match ranking (free) → pg_trgm similarity (Postgres extension, no service).

API / SQL dataset providers

Deferred — external HTTP APIs and SQL databases as dataset providers.

Blade nav filter + groups

Deferred — a search box filtering the left blade menu and collapsible group headers.
