|*Search unit*| A single increment of total available capacity (36 units). A minimum of one unit is required to run the service. The first replica and partition pair is the first search unit. However, each extra instance of a replica *or* a partition consumes an extra search unit. For example, you start with one replica and partition (one search unit), add a second replica, you're now consuming two search units. A search unit is also the billing unit for an Azure AI Search service. |

|*Search unit*| A single increment of total available capacity. A minimum of one search unit is required to run the service. Depending on your pricing tier, the maximum ranges from one to 36 units.<br><br>The number of search units equals the number of replicas multiplied by the number of partitions: R × P = SU. Each service starts with one replica and one partition, which consumes one unit: 1 × 1 = 1. Adding a second replica consumes two units: 2 × 1 = 2.<br><br>A search unit is also the billing unit for a search service. |

|*Replica*| Instances of the search service, used primarily to load balance query operations. Each replica hosts one copy of an index. If you allocate three replicas, you have three copies of an index available for servicing query requests.|

|*Partition*| Physical storage and I/O for read/write operations (for example, when rebuilding or refreshing an index). Each partition has a slice of the total index. If you allocate three partitions, your index is divided into thirds. |
