Azure Open AI failing to read Search Index?

Migrating Question Answering to Open AI for chat bot. Source data is few thousand 3k json files look like the below in Blob Storage, Azure AI Search data/indexer/index is setup. Index is set using Complex Type. Azure Open AI GUI does not list any of the fields in the complex type in the Content data, file name, title, or url field dropdowns. What is the proper way to create an index that AI will recognize the Complex Data fields?

Thanks.

Solution

  • According to this documentation, the .json format is not supported. Additionally, OpenAI does not display complex and collection types when adding your own data.

    To address this issue, you can set your index fields as string type by following these steps:

    1. In Azure AI Search, click Import data and select the data source.

    1. In the index settings, remove all fields except metadata_storage_path, metadata_storage_name, and metadata_storage_last_modified. Set metadata_storage_last_modified as the key.
