AZ-305 · Question 32 · Domain 2.4: Design a Data Storage Solution for Non-Relational Data

A legal firm has millions of scanned PDF documents stored in Azure Blob Storage.

Lawyers need to search through these documents using natural language queries. The solution must automatically extract text from the scanned images (OCR), identify key entities (people, organizations, locations), and make the data searchable via a web application.

Which Azure service should you recommend as the core search engine?

Answer options:

A.

Azure Cosmos DB

B.

Azure Cognitive Search

C.

Azure Synapse Analytics

D.

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2

How to approach this question

Look for 'search', 'natural language', 'OCR', and 'entity extraction'. Cognitive Search with AI enrichment skillsets does exactly this.

Full Answer

B.Azure Cognitive Search✓ Correct
Azure Cognitive Search
Azure Cognitive Search (now known as Azure AI Search) is a cloud search service with built-in AI capabilities. By configuring an 'indexer' to point to Blob Storage and attaching a 'skillset' (which includes OCR and Entity Recognition cognitive skills), it automatically extracts text and metadata from scanned PDFs and makes them searchable via an API.

Common mistakes

Thinking you need to write custom code to call Azure Computer Vision and store the results in a database. Cognitive Search automates this entire pipeline.
