| Microsoft Search | [Microsoft Search](/microsoftsearch/overview-microsoft-search) is for Microsoft 365 authenticated users who need to query over content in SharePoint. Azure AI Search pulls in content across Azure and any JSON dataset. |

|Bing | [Bing APIs](/bing/search-apis/bing-web-search/bing-api-comparison) query the indexes on Bing.com for matching terms. Azure AI Search searches over indexes populated with your content. You control data ingestion and the schema. |

|Database search | SQL Server has [full text search](/sql/relational-databases/search/full-text-search) and Azure Cosmos DB and similar technologies have queryable indexes. Azure AI Search becomes an attractive alternative when you need features like lexical analyzers and relevance tuning, or content from heterogeneous sources. Resource utilization is another inflection point. Indexing and queries are computationally intensive. Offloading search from the DBMS preserves system resources for transaction processing. |

|Dedicated search solution | Assuming you've decided on dedicated search with full spectrum functionality, a final categorical comparison is between search technologies. Among cloud providers, Azure AI Search is strongest for vector, keyword, and hybrid workloads over content on Azure, for apps that rely primarily on search for both information retrieval and content navigation. |
