Changes: Azure Cognitive Search is the new name

As usual – and luckily – there are some changes in Azure day by day. My opinion is: this is right the way of improvements on every area of the world. Nevertheless most of cases we are facing with price related changes, which are not the most enjoyable for us and our business.

In this case there is “only” a name changes where the Azure Search is renamed to Azure Cognitive Search. This change is going to be (effective) applied on 1st February 2020.

Don’t worry about this change because (as i mentioned above) it won’t impact the pricing of the service. Nevertheless please be careful regarding your billing procedure regarding this service. Why? Because from 1st February this service belongs to Cognitive services. This means the name change causes a service type related change. It’s not a big deal, merely please be careful and well-prepared for this. 🙂

Finally, please find the following table which contains the related name changes:

My suggestion to check your resources and your billing routines due to name changes.
