@abhishek-kumar-mishra, Thanks for the question! We are taking a look into this and will get back to you soon.

@abhishek-kumar-mishra Quick question, can you reply back with the tier/SKU of your Azure Search service? Free tier does not provide scaling options. Basic tier will let you add replicas but not partitions. Tier/SKU info is on the overview page in the portal.

[abhishek-kumar-mishra]

We are in standard tier with 3 replica.

@abhishek-kumar-mishra Hmm, this sounds like a bug or possibly a transitory service issue. Can you file a support request? This link should get you started -- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/create-ticket/

[abhishek-kumar-mishra]

Hey, let me clarify. Not sure if I explained correctly. I said I don't see
the option to auto scale. Not sure if that is an option.

I didn't mean to say that I am not able to manually scale it.

@abhishek-kumar-mishra, For better clarity, could you post a screenshot after concealing any private details?

[HeidiSteen]

@abhishek-kumar-mishra Got it! There is no built-in feature support for autoscaling. I'm sure people have done it, but it would require using the management APIs and writing custom code. You can suggest new features, or vote-up existing feature requests, on UserVoice: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search

My recommendation is to post your question on Stack Overflow. This isn't something we're likely to document any time soon. This link should help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/azure-search

[abhishek-kumar-mishra]

Thanks a lot. Now I have the answer..

Appreciate it.
