|[Extra capacity](search-limits-quotas-capacity.md#service-limits)| Higher capacity partitions became available in selected regions starting in April 2024 with a second wave following in May 2024. If you're using an older search service, create a new search service to benefit from more capacity at the same billing rate. To check existing capacity, [find your search service](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/HubsExtension/BrowseResourceBlade/resourceType/Microsoft.Search%2FsearchServices) and select the **Properties** tab in the middle of the Overview page. To check search service age, follow [these instructions](vector-search-index-size.md#how-to-check-service-creation-date). Currently, there are just a few regions that *don't* offer higher capacity partitions. Regional support for extra capacity is noted in the footnotes of this article.|

|[Availability zones](search-reliability.md#availability-zone-support)| Divides a region's data centers into distinct physical location groups, providing high-availability within the same geo. Regional support is noted in this article. |

|[AI service integration](cognitive-search-concept-intro.md)| Refers to skills that make internal calls to Azure AI for enrichment and transformation during indexing. Integration requires that Azure AI Search coexists with an [Azure AI multi-service account](/azure/ai-services/multi-service-resource) in the same physical region. Regional support is noted in this article. |

-
|[Azure OpenAI integration](vector-search-integrated-vectorization.md)| Refers to skills and vectorizers that make internal calls to deployed embedding and chat models on Azure OpenAI. Check [Azure OpenAI model region availability](/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models#model-summary-table-and-region-availability) for the most current list of regions for each embedding and chat model. Specific Azure OpenAI models are in fewer regions, so be sure to check for joint regional availability before installing.|

-
|[Azure AI Foundry integration](vector-search-integrated-vectorization-ai-studio.md)| Refers to skills and vectorizers that make internal calls to the models hosted in the model catalog. Check [Azure AI Foundry region availability](/azure/ai-studio/reference/region-support) for the most current list of regions. |

|[Azure AI Vision 4.0 multimodal APIs for image vectorization](search-get-started-portal-image-search.md)| Refers to skills and vectorizers that call the multimodal embedding API.

Some features take a dependency on other Azure services or infrastructure that are subject to regional availability. If you need a specific feature, make sure it's available in the desired region.
