  This is really important! I've tried to use Lucene with Table Storage but the costs are too high!

  We require this for for moving our systems into SQL azure.

  We would like to develop our proucts to run on Azure, however to do so we need full text indexing.

  Currently looking to migrate our SQL infrastructure to Azure Cloud Services
  However this is not possible without Full test indexes

  Azure is the future...but only with full text indexing. Guys, if you are listening, please add this into your development schedule.

  We want to push our software developments forward and deliver them through Azure but cannot progress without full text indexing...please force this up your priority list!

  We’d like to get our products running on SQL Azure, but to do so requires full text indexes

  Get it sorted!

  This is a show stopper for us, without it there is no way we could move to Azure.

  Please provide a full-text search index over table storage entities

• Markos commented  ·  September 29, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Please provide a full-text search index over table storage entities. Lucene is a good example of creating inverted index. But it has limitations with Azure and performance is an issue and 4GB Azure AppFabric cache limitation (not to mention the cost) is a limitating factor on hosting Lucene index in memory. Maintaining it in each web role is also not the best approach. In short, please provide a way to submit text and associated properties (like Lucene) and index them so that when searching for text, you can find the best matches and get the associated properties (which could be PK, RK in table storage).

  I am using the Azure library for Lucene.NET (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Azure-Library-for-83562538) but it not a supported application. Microsoft should provide the full text search indexing options with Table/Blob Storage...

  I feel like I´m coding with my hands handcuffed behind my back. There really are alot of limitations on azure tables and this is just one of them!

• andy.scott12 commented  ·  January 02, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Either implement this - or provide support to Apache to give us full support and access to Lucene / Solr

• ray247 commented  ·  December 07, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Not being able to do basic linq operations like "where o.PartitionKey.StartWith()" is quite limiting. Having full text search would be extremely welcoming! Otherwise I am thinking to have a worker role creating the Lucene index and put it on the BLOB storage.

• simnova commented  ·  November 17, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  With the future of Lucene.NET in question (what I'm currently using), I think that there is a good opportunity for Microsoft to step in to offer their Search Server as a service in the cloud.

• W.M. commented  ·  November 17, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I was interested in researching table storage because of the scalability, but no text search means I can not even run basic text search? Accessing entities based purely on a PK/RK pair is a handicap. Search should be an integral or even extensible part of this platform. It is kind of ironic that moving "up" the storage ecosystem to a relatively expensive hosted platform means I give up something like this. Pulling down whole datasets just to filter them locally is a win for MS with more transactional fees and bandwidth charges along with reduced computational overhead, but is a drawback for customers for the very same reasons.

  @steven nagy - point is, if customers would like it - it should be available - " I think people are using table storage simply for cost reasons, not for scalabilty reasons." - is not a reason NOT to implement it unless you have evidence to contrary [and so what?]

  the architecture and design of a project is up to the customer - currently, no project can implement any search but Lucene - which is a ridiculous proposition for any small-medium service that wants to use tables. MSFT should have a full featured table search available - whether its Lucence integrated or a customised solution. I would think they know how to get around any associated problems considering they created it.
