Expected behavior New Index with Scoring Profile Created

Actual behavior (include Exception or Stack Trace) "Message": "The request is invalid. Details: index : Requested value 'ScoringFunction' was not found.\r\n"

"StackTrace": "   at Microsoft.Azure.Search.IndexesOperations.CreateWithHttpMessagesAsync(Index index, SearchRequestOptions searchRequestOptions, Dictionary`2 customHeaders, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\r\n   at Microsoft.Azure.Search.IndexesOperationsExtensions.CreateAsync(IIndexesOperations operations, Index index, SearchRequestOptions searchRequestOptions, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\r\n   at [OMITTED].[OMITTED].Infrastructure.Search.SearchService.ScoringProfileDebugAsync()..."

@AFDevMike That’s an example of field boosting, or did you mean tag boosting? Either way, ScoringFunction by itself is just an abstraction and isn’t going to help you there.

If you did want to boost by weighting different fields, you need to set the TextWeights property of the scoring profile.

Hope this helps.

TextWeights of the scoring profile is exactly what I needed. Thx!
