Searchify vs Azure Cognitive Search: What are the differences?

Developers describe Searchify as "Full-text Search-as-a-Service". Easily add custom full-text search, without the cost or complexity of managing search servers. On the other hand, Azure Cognitive Search is detailed as "AI-powered cloud search service for mobile and web app development". It is the only cloud search service with built-in AI capabilities that enrich all types of information to easily identify and explore relevant content at scale. Formerly known as Azure Search, it uses the same integrated Microsoft natural language stack that Bing and Office have used for more than a decade and AI services across vision, language and speech. Spend more time innovating and less time maintaining a complex cloud search solution.

Searchify and Azure Cognitive Search can be primarily classified as "Search as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by Searchify are:

• Powerful hosted search, with a simple API
• True real-time updates are immediately searchable
• Location-aware geo search - sort & filter by distance

On the other hand, Azure Cognitive Search provides the following key features:

• Start, maintain and scale with minimal investment
• Create searchable content using integrated AI
• Customise to meet goals and industry requirements
