[SDKits Software @sdkits_software]

Quietly behind the scenes there was a new Examine v4 beta.3 shipped 😱🤩https://t.co/AERg6RJTsE

Backwards compatible with ExamineX, #Umbraco and of course https://t.co/ZyjkoMxjBo but more interesting, has tons of features and bug fixes.

Examine v4.0.0 Release Check List + Notes: https://t.co/gEn97MH5I2

There are breaking changes but mostly shouldn't impact many folks: https://t.co/Vj7ATcuRHt

There'll be an ExamineX version shipped soon that fully supports the new Examine abstractions including faceting and more 🎉

Work is already under way to have this this version tested by the fine folks at Umbraco.

🚀 We just shipped AI Semantic Ranking in ExamineX for Azure Search!

Keyword search is great, but natural language queries don't always map to exact terms. With semantic ranking, Azure's deep learning models understand the meaning behind queries and re-rank
results by relevance - building on top of your existing search to take it to the next level. ✨

📝 Extracted captions & direct answers
⚙️ Multi-config support per index
💰 No extra cost on the ExamineX side

Available for lots of Umbraco versions, from v13 and up!

Yay! We've just published new versions of ExamineX for both Azure Search and Elastic Search to support the latest and greatest version of #Umbraco 16. No changes to config or setup but internally have bumped all dependencies to latest versions. https://t.co/dYivtQwZhR

@Preben353 @Preben353 From the looks of things, you want to do multi-index search in Elastic? We can add that as a built in feature request for sure but in the meantime, I'm sure its possible and it looks like you are close. Best to chat on GitHub though to track progress.

[SDKits Software @sdkits_software]

@Preben353 Hi. Can you open an issue on the tracker with details of what you are trying to do? https://t.co/tjGv2kB8zY

[SDKits Software @sdkits_software]

We've posted new ExamineX versions for all major versions to work around a recent Azure Search API breaking change. Full details here https://t.co/CZKcfbHpMU #Umbraco. Unfortunately Azure Search cannot rollback/rollforward a fix so an update is required.

[SDKits Software @sdkits_software]

UPDATE - The Azure team is looking into this regression. More news to come tomorrow.

[SDKits Software @sdkits_software]

BREAKING change reported on #AzureAISearch affecting ExamineX. A new rollout is underway globally that is affecting certain regions. We're in contact with Azure support. Ticket can be tracked here https://t.co/PGrkPQ4vpb a new workaround may need to be shipped today. Stay tuned.
