IsSearchable not recognized when creating azure search index

Question

I am trying to create index for for below model.

public class Booking
    {
        [System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Key]
        [IsSearchable,IsFilterable,IsSortable]
        public string BookId { get; set; }

        [IsSearchable, IsFilterable]
        public string BooknName { get; set; }
    }

Code to create index

 FieldBuilder fieldBuilder = new FieldBuilder();
 var searchFields = fieldBuilder.Build(typeof(Booking));
 var definition = new SearchIndex(indexName, searchFields);
 indexClient.CreateOrUpdateIndex(definition);

But this somehow ignores the IsSearchable/IsFilterable when I look at the definition and create the index with setting all this to false

Is there any other property i am missing here? I am using Azure.Search.Documents - Version=11.1.1.0

Answer 1

Since you're instantiating FieldBuilder, I assume you're using Azure.Search.Documents. In that case, you need to use the new attributes we added, such as SearchableFieldAttribute. The previous attributes effectively correspond to properties. See https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/search/Azure.Search.Documents/samples/Sample04_FieldBuilderIgnore.md for an example.

Microsoft.Azure.Search will soon be deprecated, BTW.
