Additionally, if your content includes mixed files, you have the option of adding *AI enrichment* through [cognitive skills](cognitive-search-working-with-skillsets.md). AI enrichment can extract text embedded in application files, and also infer text and structure from non-text files by analyzing the content.

The skills providing the analysis are predefined ones from Microsoft, or custom skills that you create. The subsequent analysis and transformations can result in new information and structures that did not previously exist, providing high utility for many search and knowledge mining scenarios.

+[Querying](search-query-overview.md) can happen once an index is populated with searchable text, when your client app sends query requests to a search service and handles responses. All query execution is over a search index that you create, own, and store in your service. In your client app, the search experience is defined using APIs from Azure Cognitive Search, and can include relevance tuning, autocomplete, synonym matching, fuzzy matching, pattern matching, filter, and sort.
