(What must be) The simplest possible front end for running Azure Cognitive Search queries.

Simple Azure Search

The simplest possible front end search box and results rendering for an Azure Cognitive Search app, utilising streamlit and dotenv to keep it down to a single Python script.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3 (project was built with 3.8. This specific version may not be required, but 3.8+ is recommended.)

• Pip (Python package installer, should be installed with Python 3.)

Usage

Clone the repo.

git clone <repo-url> && cd simpleazuresearch

In your preferred environment, run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Copy and paste the contents of .env-dev into a file named .env (which is git ignored).

Fill out .env with the details of your project and Azure resources. Note: these are secrets and you should ensure you do not commit this file to version control.

Run:

streamlit run ui.py

Then open your browser and search away!
